Clinical Experiences: A How to Guide
- What is it?
- “Student-centered teaching methodology that exposes students to real-world scenarios that need to be solved using their reasoning skills and existing theoretical knowledge” (Ali, 2018, p.55)
- How to do it?
- Individual work: Provide students with case scenario (video, paper, virtual sources) and have them provide answers to set questions. Students can submit answers via electronic source or discuss case with faculty using telecommunications tool, e.g. phone, Zoom, etc.
- Small Group: Provide students with case scenario and have students meet virtually to role play and discuss the case. Other ideas include conducting team-based learning sessions, flipped classroom, or group discussions via zoom.
- Use discussion boards to facilitate group discussion of case scenario
