Why is it important?
Many other fields, including medicine, aviation, nursing and military have embraced technology for training purposes. The fields of speech-language pathology and audiology have been slower to implement simulations such as online case studies, mannequins and virtual reality to train the up-and-coming members of these fields. This paper explores how university programs in the United States are currently using simulations to train Communication Sciences and Disorders students.
Perspectives
This article is published at a time of emerging interest in and acceptance of simulations in clinical education in CSD. It also serves to move the discussion forward to best practices in sims.
