- Abstract
This study examined physical therapist faculty members’ perceptions of the use of high fidelity simulation manikins in the doctor of physical therapy curriculum. A basic interpretative analysis was used to explore each individual faculty member’s perceptions through one-on-one semi-structured interviews. This study answered the research question: How do physical therapy faculty members perceive high fidelity simulation as a teaching methodology within the physical therapy curriculum? The data obtained through qualitative analysis allowed the investigator to describe the perceptions of eight physical therapist faculty members who do not currently teach with high fidelity simulation mannikins. An examination of themes across participants identified three overarching themes. These themes included high fidelity simulation mannikins are unnecessary to achieve course objectives, high fidelity simulation manikins are not humans, and teaching with high fidelity simulation manikins may not be worth the effort. The findings of this study can assist DPT programs considering implementation of HFS manikins into the curriculum by increasing awareness of potential barriers and facilitators among PT faculty who have not taught with HFS manikins. Further research is warranted to continue to explore the evolving role this technology has in the DPT curriculum.
