Simulation-based learing

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.   

The SIMBA Project (Simulation-Based Learning in Occupational Therapy) is focused on integrating simulation-based learning (SBL) methodologies into occupational therapy (OT) education. SBL is a dynamic and evidence-based method that allows students to practice real-world clinical skills in a controlled environment. Through the SIMBA project, partners aim to develop and implement these innovative approaches across different

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

After a year of intense work, rigorous research and successful collaboration, the SIMBA project team is proud to announce the completion of one of the first key milestones of the project: the SIMBA Guidelines for the implementation of simulation-based learning in occupational therapy education. These Guidelines are the result of activities conducted within Work Package
