SIM Networking Community
Purpose
The SIM Networking Community will serve as a resource and forum for members of the Academy of Education (Academic Faculty SIG) with an interest in simulation as a pedagogical approach for the education and professional development of physical therapist and physical therapist assistant students, residents/fellows, and practicing clinicians. The purpose of the SIM Networking Community is to promote best practice in the use of simulation in physical therapy education and practice and to foster collaboration among educators for the purpose of sharing resources and exploring opportunities for research in the field of simulation-based learning.
