Volume 7: Is simulation-based education valuable for PT students?

Aug 16, 2025

Professionalism and communication are valuable skills necessary for a practicing physical therapist and are fostered during PT school. An early acquisition of these skills proves to be beneficial to a student's development, especially as they enter their clinical education rotations. Would simulation-based education integrated before a student's first clinical education experience boost their perceived skillset? Young et al use a retrospective exploratory study to analyze 73 first-year students' professional development with the modified Gap-Kalamazoo Communication Skills Assessment Form.
