Findings from our qualitative study with students (N=8) revealed that they enjoyed being in an interdisciplinary, collaborative environment and experienced various emotions during the child welfare immersive collaborative simulation event. They had diverse needs for learning the information and provided several recommendations for future simulation events.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
  1. To increase awareness of the use of simulations in social work education
  2. To enhance understanding of students’ needs and experiences in engaging in interprofessional and collaborative events in child welfare.
  3. To inform future simulation organizers about students’ suggestions for content knowledge and engagement.
