Educational design insights for interprofessional immersive simulation to prepare allied health students for clinical placements.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Positive outcomes of simulation programmes to prepare students for placement are widely noted. However, few studies adequately describe considerations for designing allied health placement simulations. There exists a conceptual framework to guide such simulation design, which draws on theory and educational expertise but to date lacks varied stakeholder perspectives. This study aimed to identify implications for the design of allied health placement simulation from participants' experiences of a simulation-based, interprofessional, novice placement preparation programme.

Methods

Occupational therapy, physiotherapy and podiatry students finishing their first year of study were offered a 1-week intensive interprofessional simulation immediately before their first pl
