A longitudinal, curriculum-integrated simulation-based education program framework for clinical reasoning¶

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The article presents a transferable framework for designing, integrating, and iteratively improving a simulation-based education program (SBEP) focused on clinical reasoning across a full undergraduate physiotherapy degree. It operates through three key features: institutional commitment to simulation as a core teaching strategy, longitudinal curricular integration of CR-focused scenarios, and continuous iterative adaptation. The framework is structured by an adapted ADDIE model and guided by Munari and Jardine's instructional framework, ensuring systematic planning and refinement across academic cycles.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Institutional commitment to simulation as a core teaching strategy
Alignment of strategic planning, faculty development, and progressive scenario design

Constraints¶

Adaptation to local organizational, cultural, and regulatory contexts will be required
The study does not present objective measures of CR or student performance

Target Learners¶

Undergraduate physiotherapy students

Learning Goals¶

Clinical reasoning competencies including subjective interview, examination, and treatment planning

Claims¶

Pedagogical guides for facilitators and students supporting simulation scenario implementation
