This study aims to investigate and explore the application of simulation education in physical therapist education, and calls for action to address related issues.
In the summer of 2018, The American Council of Academic Physical Therapy appointed 9 individuals versed in simulation education to form the Strategic Initiative Panel on Simulation to (1) investigate the use of simulation in physical therapist education, (2) explore the role of simulation in meeting accreditation standards and curriculum elements related to clinical education and interprofessional education, and (3) describe models and best practices for the use of simulation in physical therapist education. Over the 3 years of Strategic Initiative Panel on Simulation work, the panel identified several significant gaps in simulation education and research practice. This paper clarifies the essential elements required to optimize the delivery of simulation-based education in physical therapy following best practices, frames the existing challenges to move the profession forward, and recommends specific actions needed to address the many continued questions related to the effective use of simulation-based education in physical therapist education.
