SIMBA – Simulation-based learning in Occupational Therapy Education

The main objective of SIMBA is to integrate simulation-based learning (SBL) and evaluation into all phases of occupational therapy training, so that students are active participants in their learning process and feel qualified when entering working life as occupational therapists after graduation. The objective of SIMBA is to design and apply the evidence-based SBL to the various phases of the training of occupational therapy between five partner organisations.

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.

ENOTHE provided consultancy throughout the development of this project and hosted project content on its website after project ending.
