Simulation Experiences in Canadian Physiotherapy Programmes: A Description of Current Practices.

Although health care professional education programmes around the world are increasingly using sophisticated simulation technology, the scope of simulation use in Canadian physiotherapy programmes is currently undefined. The current study explores the definitions of simulation, its current use, and the perceived benefits and barriers in Canadian entry-to-practice physiotherapy programmes. Using a qualitative, descriptive study approach, we contacted Canadian physiotherapy programmes to identify faculty members with simulation experience.
