Massage therapy education programs are responsible for preparing graduates for complex professional environments, while also ensuring graduates can access the profession by passing the regulatory body's standardized certification or licensing examination. Massage therapists are regulated health care professionals in four Canadian provinces. They are autonomous practitioners and an integral part of the health care regime for patients with complicated health presentations. As such, they must think critically about patients' presentations and determine the most appropriate care. This article describes the process undertaken by the faculty team of Humber College's Massage Therapy Program in an effort to transform the existing teaching and learning strategies by incorporating principles of inquiry-based learning (IBL).
按摩疗法教育项目负责让毕业生为复杂的专业环境做好准备,同时确保毕业生能够通过监管机构的标准化认证或执照考试,从而进入该行业。在加拿大的四个省份,按摩治疗师属于受监管的医疗保健专业人员。他们是自主执业者,也是患有复杂健康问题的患者医疗保健体系中不可或缺的一部分。因此,他们必须对患者的病情进行批判性思考,并确定最合适的护理方案。本文介绍了汉博学院按摩疗法项目的教师团队所采取的过程,旨在通过纳入基于探究的学习(IBL)原则来转变现有的教学策略。
