Cases have been carefully selected to allow faculty to bridge the gap between the didactic classroom and clinical experience for their students. Each case includes PDFs formatted to allow students to complete and return to their course instructor. Also included are examples for faculty to reference when choosing learning activities to assign to students.

Ben’s videos include great therapist interaction and modeling of therapeutic alliance. He shows some frustration at times which is important for students to problem-solve. Ben’s medical history is complicated and so an excellent case to introduce or reinforce systems review principles. He has many personal factors and environmental factors that students can connect to parts of the ICF model template. Ben’s young age and prior level of function are salient to the students and grab their attention.

Equivalent to 20 hours of clinical observation, this in-depth Level I Fieldwork Alternative was designed to be implemented over a 4-week span.

First determine what learners should gain by viewing the case, then choose the appropriate videos to illustrate that objective. These can be simple to complex, and may depend on the course in which the videos are used.

Ben’s videos provide a case with rich learning opportunities, due to the acute care environment, complexity of his condition, number of video available, and variety of therapists providing his care. There are many learning activities that can be used to achieve diverse learning objectives using Ben’s case.
