dc.description.abstractAIMS: The purpose of this quantitative pilot study was to examine occupational therapy students’ perceived value of a simulated learning experience and to identify various components of simulation that were valued. METHODS: Students enrolled in an occupational therapy evaluation and intervention for the adult population course participated in a simulated experience using a standardized patient as part of course expectations. Participants completed an 18-item questionnaire following the simulation. RESULTS: Students perceived simulated learning as a positive experience. The components identified as positive included feedback from the instructor, professional attire, consistent role of the standardized patient, and group debriefing after the simulation. CONCLUSION: Occupational therapy students perceived interaction with standardized patients as valuable. Further research is needed to analyze effectiveness of simulation in preparing occupational therapy and other healthcare students for actual clinical experience.en_US
