Piloting a Research Roundtable for Occupational Therapy Students
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A research roundtable was designed to nurture occupational therapy students' ability to understand research articles, an important but challenging skill. Small groups of students took turns analyzing an article with the support of interprofessional faculty facilitators. Survey feedback collected across two academic years from 75 students suggests that the roundtables were valuable for student learning. The small groups, the facilitators, and the open discussions contributed to an emotionally-safe, engaging experience. Students reported gaining a deeper understanding about research, which elevated their confidence.
