The application of UDL and SoTL to health care education

Abstract

In this chapter, we use the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) to explore the application of universal design for learning (UDL) (CAST 2018) to health care education. We begin by setting a historical context of health care education. Next, we provide an overview of UDL, a review of the literature of UDL in health care education, and then discuss one institution's exploration of applying UDL in health science and other program teaching practices, arguing that UDL's main concepts can be effectively applied to health care education to create inclusive and effective learning experiences.
