“…Lab practicums are often used to help students better understand complex and abstract information that is difficult to portray in lectures alone (Bayrak, Kanli, & Kandil-Ingec, 2006). For pre-service health care professionals, lab experiences provide hands-on opportunities to apply learning to clinical settings and to hasten familiarity with using clinical instruments, administering assessments, and psychomotor skills needed to safely and effectively work with clients (Fell, Borland, & Lynne, 2012). Furthermore, lab-based learning experiences support the development of psychomotor practice competencies because the learning environment is controlled and students can benefit from observing others, feedback, developing a mental image of correct performance, and rote practice (Snyder, Fitzloff, Fiedler, & Lamke, 2000).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intentional blending of instructional strategies in an occupational therapy (OT) entry-level master's course. The OT Adult Practice course uses case-based instructional strategies, clinical skills labs, and standardized patient experiences in a dovetailed approach across three progressively complex clinical scenarios involving adult clients. The course is designed to support students in addressing the entire OT Process. Results of quantitative data analysis indicated that the sequential application of case-based instructional strategies, lab experiences, and standardized patient learning opportunities significantly improved students' self-perception of their level of comfort and skill in being able to perform the following components of the OT process for adult clients: occupational profile, OT evaluation, developing an OT treatment plan, implementing OT treatment, and planning for discharge.
