q2 i? All participants agreed that incorporating Simucase into each course, with cases aligned to course content, would provide more concrete learning. → Elliott 2021

Elliott, Haley and Brumbaugh, Klaire (2021). Student Perceptions of a Simulated Clinical Experience: A Pilot Study. Teaching and Learning in Communication Sciences & Disorders, 5(1), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.30707/TLCSD5.1.1624982519.538001

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Focus-group theme from the qualitative pilot; one participant suggested each class include at least one Simucase experience and another noted value for competency preparation. The authors connect this to McGaghie et al.'s (2009) recommendation to integrate simulation-based education with other curricular activities.

"Overwhelmingly, all participants agreed that the incorporation of Simucase (2019) could be beneficial in each course. Participants indicated that the exposure of working through a case that applied to what was being taught in courses would provide more concrete learning."
