Using integrated learning experiences to promote clinical competence: an instructional case study

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This case study describes a novel end-of-semester instructional method that ties together content between courses at three points during an entry-level occupational therapy curriculum. In these integrated curriculum event, known as the ‘ICE’, small groups of students work together to perform portions of the OT process in the context of a case study. Early evidence suggests that the ICE breaks down the silos between courses and fosters higher-order thinking and increasingly advanced clinical reasoning.
