Simulation improves clinical skills and confidence in occupational therapy students, implying better readiness for acute care settings.

Confidence in clinical skills significantly increased across nine out of twelve measures after simulation and resilience activities.
Participants showed strong performance in both clinical and communication skills during simulation exercises, demonstrating effective learning.
The structured acute care module applied experiential learning and social-emotional learning to improve student outcomes effectively.
Future research should investigate the broader impacts of simulation and resilience activities on occupational therapy education.

Cohen et al. (2025) studied this question.
