Clinical Experience syllabus for occupational therapy/assistant

To help faculty map simulation and video content within occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant course curricula, Simucase created sample lesson plans for seven core topics.

The lesson plans include course title, learning objectives for each course, simulation and video content that align with learning objectives, and outcome measures to assess whether learning objectives have been met. The sequencing of the coursework may be altered at the discretion of the faculty. Students may also complete interactive supplemental activities after submitting each simulation to meet additional learning objectives.
