Several strategies can be employed to mitigate the effects of limited clinical exposure:
Simulation-Based Learning: High-fidelity simulations can provide realistic scenarios for students to practice clinical skills in a controlled environment. Virtual Reality (VR): VR technology can offer immersive experiences that mimic real-life clinical settings. Telehealth: Involvement in telehealth services can offer students exposure to patient care remotely. Extended Practicum: Extending the duration of clinical practicums can help compensate for reduced exposure during the initial phases of training. Clinical Partnerships: Strengthening partnerships between educational institutions and healthcare facilities can enhance opportunities for clinical placements.
