Create Virtual Clinical Experiences

Table of Contents

Dec 31

With ICE Videos, it's easy to create realistic and powerful virtual clinical experiences for students, encouraging critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills. Meaningful and alternative experiences are created by matching patient videos to specific learning activities in the following Tools for Teaching. Start with ICE Lesson Plans or choose from Observation Tools, ICE Case Studies, Documentation Assignments, or Movement Analysis.

Choose from 50+ ready-to-use assignments, or Customize an assignment to meet your needs, or Create your own assignments, using ICE examples as a launch pad.

To meet your required standards, build hours into your virtual clinical experiences by expanding the number of selected videos and learning activities. Choose from 200+ videos representing a variety of diagnoses and clinical settings (acute care, ICU, SNF, outpatient, and home health).

Sample Virtual Clinical Experiences

The following are ready-to-use examples (including rubrics, in-depth assignments, and selected video titles) created and used by faculty as alternatives to onsite clinical experiences during COVID. Feel free to use as-is or customize them to meet your specific needs. Many of the assignments can be used for either discipline with minor modifications.
