Completion of lab activities via live streaming or recorded videos, for observation and feedback from faculty and your peers. As part of your lab session documentation, you may be asked use your webcam and microphone to live stream or pre-record your lab practice exercises. Faculty and peers will be able to give you feedback so that you can repeat, iterate, and advance your skills in your own learning environment. As you review your own video, you can self-assess. As you review others’ video, you will sharpen your critical thinking and debriefing skills, making you a more observant, perceptive, and competent practitioner. Tele-health and tele-medicine are the trends of the future. This learning experience will help you develop the essential skills to be a skilled and successful future tele-practitioner.
Lab Materials. For some at-home lab exercises, you will use specific materials and items. You may already have some of these materials through your program. For selected labs, you may be provided essential items or given instructions for how to procure those items at a low cost. Lab plans are being developed by faculty to simulate authentic environments at home and enable hands-on practice. Keep in mind that not every course will require materials or a supply list - only courses where essential items are necessary for the lab exercise. Refer to your course Syllabus for information.
Virtual simulations using Simulation IQ live streaming, and pre-recorded CICP media. Virtual simulations are patient cases representing authentic clinical environments, supported by video, where you will have an opportunity to make clinical decisions in simulated practice areas and then reflect and debrief with your peers using interactive conferencing technologies. This approach will help to hone your clinical decision making, professional communication, and critical thinking and problem solving skills - and, doing this in a tele-health environment uniquely prepares you for the future of tele-health.
