This course will review models for integrating Simucase into a Communication Sciences & Disorders (CSD) program. The Simucase platform will be reviewed. Guidelines for supervision and awarding clinical hours will be discussed, and evidence-based debriefing methods will be presented. A rubric for analyzing the learner’s participation will be reviewed, and tools for assessing overall satisfaction with the simulation will be examined.

This SIMQ article will address the resources needed for an optimally functioning simulation lab. Resources such as personnel, equipment, and technologies will be discussed.

In 2016, the Council for Clinical Certification revised implementation language of Speech Language Pathology Standard V-B to allow for the use of simulations to count towards clinical clock hours. In this SimQ article, we will focus on the impact of this change and offer ways to assure that students are obtaining clinical clock hours in a manner that complies with the standard.

This article explores the opportunities afforded by emerging technologies in virtual and augmented reality. Participants will be provided information about the current state of these immersive technologies and challenged to consider their potential use in clinical education. The article provides a mix of theory and practice, and presents information with the intent to stimulate ideas.

This course defines and describes the types of simulations utilized for clinical education in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). The learning theory behind simulation education will be presented, with the process and examples of debriefing specifically highlighted.
Please note: This course uses a different recorded format from most of our courses; arrows on the playbar must be used to progress through the course. When playback stops after the course introduction, use the right arrow key to progress to the second slide, where you can read the full playback instructions. Due to the nature of the development of this content, this course is best viewed on a tablet-sized screen or larger. Please plan your viewing experience accordingly.

This course is designed to share the components of effective and collaborative interprofessional education (IPE) using simulations as a foundation for teaching and learning. The course will provide the opportunity to work through and apply real-world, evidence-based examples for allied health professionals.

This course will review the history and theory supporting the use of simulation. It will also provide an overview of the different types of simulation modalities.

In this article, we will focus on a specific aspect of the simulation learning experience: the debrief. The Q&A will address the importance of the debrief as part of the learning process. Research and evidence-based practices for debriefing will be discussed.

This course addresses the perspectives of a graduate student who has experienced simulations as part of her clinical training program. We will probe her thoughts on the strengths and limitations of this application. She will provide us with insights about how simulations can best be integrated into a graduate curriculum.

This text reports the results of a study examining changes in the clinical decision-making processes of speech-language pathology (SLP) students. Web-based case simulations were used to elicit and measure clinical decision-making in eight graduate students at three stages in their training.
