Figure 5. Clinical educator assessments of cohort differences by clinical preparedness skills. Notes: Technical skills were rated as improved by a significant majority of educators when compared to previous cohorts. Ratings of student cohorts were collected using a five-point Likert scale. Average scores: core skills: 3.59; technical skills: 3.85; and IPC skills: 3.56. *Percentage represents a significant majority of clinical educator responses.

Figure 6. RT: Student assessments of clinical readiness. Percentage of students who agreed or strongly agreed (3,4) on a four-point Likert scale with the statement: “The simulated clinical semester prepared me well for my clinical rotation.” Due to implementation issues resolved in year two of the program, ratings from 2009 to 2010 RT graduates significantly improved.
