Conditions

• Clinical Judgement Assessment
• Physical Therapy Education
• Simulation-based Learning

Eligibility Criteria

Sex

ALL

Age

18 Years - N/A

Healthy Volunteers

Accepted

Interventions

• Video Recorded Acute Care Simulation — OTHER
  Participants complete a routine, curriculum-based standardized acute care simulation (30-35 minutes including reflection).
• Faculty Rating of Acute Care Simulation Video Using the LCJR-PT — OTHER
  Faculty members will assess and rate each student acute care simulation video using the LCJR-PT tool.

Study Details

This study examines whether physical therapy faculty can reliably and feasibly use the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric adapted for physical therapy (LCJR-PT) to score students' clinical judgment during a recorded simulation experience. Multiple trained faculty raters will independently score the same student videos, and the level of agreement between raters will be measured. Faculty will also report how long scoring takes and their perceptions of the rubric's usefulness.
