Simulation-based Education in Physiotherapy

"An intervention is proposed with two training sessions for the tutors of the Pràcticum I, III, and IV courses in the Physiotherapy Degree. The first session will be on January 10, 2024 (3 hours), and the second on February 2, 2024 (2 hours), both at the FCSB facilities of UVic-UCC.~The sessions aim to:~Promote behavior that facilitates learning in Simulation-Based Education (SBE). Provide facilitators with tools and strategies for effective SBE implementation.~Highlight the differences and similarities in SBE across the Pràcticum I, III, and IV courses, based on increasing difficulty.~Training will involve clinical simulation principles, with facilitators experiencing all SBE phases. An actress, later participating in student simulations, will be involved. Scenarios from the courses will be used, supported by a PowerPoint presentation and an information dossier for participants."

"Simulation-Based Education Each student in Pràcticum I, III, and V will participate in a simulation session tailored to their course.~Simulations are conducted in groups of five students with the same UVic tutor acting as facilitator. Each simulation follows three phases (prebriefing, simulation, debriefing), with varying emphasis across courses:~Pràcticum I: The prebriefing ensures group confidence. Two volunteer students participate in the simulation. The debriefing is shorter, less focused on outcomes, and highlights learning over errors. Emphasizes guidance for student.~Pràcticum III: Prebriefing and debriefing are equally emphasized. One volunteer student performs the simulation.~Pràcticum V: Cases are more complex, requiring less prebriefing but comprehensive briefing. Students autonomously set session rules. The debriefing is in-depth and focuses on clinical application. One volunteer student performs the simulation, Focuses on autonomy and independent work."
