A simulation moduel was developed and integrated into a third semester course within the occupational therapy assistant (OTA) curriculum to provide educators and students with an evidence-based and effective teaching method to enhance learning, and to integrate knowledge learned in the classroom with the clinical skills necessary to become successful occupational therapy (OT) practitioners. Research supports the use of simulation to contribute to the overall learning experience and to better prepare students to become confident and competent clinicians. The simulation module developed includes elements which support the overall goal of providing an active learning experience for OTA students which promotes engagement with the information learned and reflection on performance in order to strengthen and improve knowledge, skills, and interactions to prepare students to become more effective and efficient OT practitioners. Upon the successful completion of this module and reflection on its implementation, there are compelling reasons to continue to develop and utilize simulation modules throughout the OTA curriculum.
