73.030 - Workplace Learning: Blurring Classroom and Practice Boundaries

Mon, April 20, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton III

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Optimizing the interface between the education of clinicians and delivery of health care services is vital as healthcare reform continues to rapidly evolve. What are optimal models for blurring the lines between classroom and clinical education that will prepare highly qualified health care practitioners? With workplace learning as a grounding concept, this session explores the continuum of learning for practice in an emerging, rapidly growing health profession, physical therapy. While the profession has rapidly transitioned to a clinical doctoral degree, the traditional integrated model of clinical education experiences within the curricula still remains dominant. The symposium will offer participants ways to purposefully explore and expand the concept of workplace learning at their institutions and consider broader implications of participatory learning.
