• In Event: Roundtables Wed2
  In Roundtable Session: D&D - Roundtables Wed2

Short Description

Like most areas of education, physical therapist education (PTE) programs are evolving to integrate more technology use in the curriculum. Yet this change has been unevenly distributed, and some physical therapist educators resist adopting technology in the classroom. We will present our review of literature on technology integration in PTE and related healthcare education programs. We will highlight some particularly innovative programs, and share our conclusions on how PTE should be evolving based on the changing healthcare environment.
