Simulation-based learning in occupational therapy education: what competencies can be acquired and evaluated using the SBL paradigm?

The primary aim of the SIMBA project is to develop and implement simulation-based learning (SBL) methodology across different stages of occupational therapy education programmes as an innovative and evidence-based method for teaching, learning, and evaluating professional OT competencies. To do so, one of the first tasks of the project was to precisely define what are …

Simulation-based learning in occupational therapy education:  How might SBL be used to ‘bridge’ the gap between theory and occupational therapy practice?

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of the European Network of Occupational Therapy in Higher Education (ENOTHE) in Oviedo, Spain, members of the SIMBA team had an opportunity to share some of the first results of the project. In a poster presentation, team members working in Work Package Two presented some of the work completed in …

From script to practice – the learning process at the heart of the SIMBA project

Simulation learning is a carefully designed multi-step process. Simulation implementation and debriefing are key cornerstones of the learning process. In the social and health sectors, simulation is often built around simulated client cases. In SIMBA, each participating country creates scenarios to be used in simulations.   The simulation process involves several steps, with the organiser …
