SIMBA
Simulation-based learning in Occupational Therapy Education
About the project
The main objective of SIMBA is to integrate simulation-based learning (SBL) and evaluation into all phases of occupational therapy training, so that students are active participants in their learning process and feel qualified when entering working life as occupational therapists after graduation. The objective of SIMBA is to design and apply the evidence-based SBL to the various phases of the training of occupational therapy between five partner organisations.

Implementing SIMBA Simulated-learning Experiences: Report from the Field
After over 18 months of intense work on the development of numerous resources and materials for simulation-based learning in OT education, the SIMBA team has been busy implementing simulated learning experiences in the study programmes of all five project partners. Altogether, 30 hands-on and digital simulation scenarios will be implemented, tested and evaluated during this academic year with occupational therapy students at various phases of study and across numerous curriculum areas. Using the insight and experience gained from implementation, all scenarios will be revised and prepared for final dissemination as a key outcome of the SIMBA project.
