DEVELOPING AN INTERPROFESSIONAL VIRTUAL HEALTHCARE WORLD FRAMEWORk

The purpose of this project is to design and build an interprofessional virtual clinical experience platform for nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and allied health students enrolled in on-site, blended, and online programs. The virtual clinical simulation system gives students the opportunity to safely engage in a variety of healthcare scenarios while practicing skills, processes, and procedures until perfected. Each simulation has been carefully designed to meet specific learning objectives while providing interactive, hands-on, and experiential learning that can be more effective than passive modes of instruction.
