Testing a Clinical Judgment Rubric in Physical Therapy
This trial studies how well a tool called the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric works when used by physical therapy students and faculty at Youngstown State University. Researchers want to see if it can help improve how we assess clinical thinking in simulation exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a first- or second-year DPT student at Youngstown State University (YSU).
- You must provide informed consent to participate.
- If you are a faculty rater, you must be a full-time faculty member teaching in the YSU DPT program.
- You must not have declined to provide informed consent.

This study compares two teaching methods—role-playing with peers versus case-based learning—to see which helps physical therapy students learn problem-solving better. You would participate in a 12-week course and help researchers understand what works best.
This study compares how well large language models (AI) versus human examiners grade physiotherapy clinical case exams. If you are a third-year physiotherapy student who submitted a case exam, your anonymized work might help test whether AI can grade as accurately as people.
This study compares different debriefing methods used after simulation training to see how they affect nursing students' clinical judgment. It may help improve how students learn from practice scenarios.
This study looks at how second-year physiotherapy students and their teachers perceive non-technical skills (like communication and teamwork) during simulations. It helps understand how these skills are learned and taught.
This study tests if using a standardized patient simulation helps first-year nursing students improve their assessment and diagnosis skills. It compares simulation to traditional learning methods.
This study tests whether a new simulation-based teaching method helps nursing students make better clinical decisions and feel more confident in their nursing skills.
