| description | (1) Background: Integrated standardized patient examinations (ISPEs) allow students to demonstrate competence with curricular learning and communication. Digital recordings of these experiences provide an objective permanent record, allowing students to review and improve their performance. Although recordings have been utilized as a tool in physical therapy education, no studies have described the impact of reviewing recordings of ISPE. This qualitative pilot study aimed to investigate student perceptions and learning after reviewing their recordings of ISPE. (2) Methods: Second-year Doctor of Physical Therapy students (<i>n</i>= 23) participated in the study by completing an anonymous online survey after reviewing their recordings from three ISPEs. Thematic analysis was used to identify codes and central themes from the survey data. (3) Results: The results showed that 95.6% of students found the video review process beneficial. Five themes emerged: (i) digital recordings provide an objective performance assessment, (ii) approaches to self-review vary, (iii) it provides an opportunity for growth, (iv) a holistic review is possible, and (v) students need structure and guidance in the process. (4) Conclusions: Study findings indicate that a review of the recordings of ISPEs facilitates the development of clinical skills for physical therapy students. Implementing an explicit framework for reviewing the recordings may enhance the process and facilitate further promotion of reflection-on-action. |
