The proposed study is looking to examine the effects of High-Fidelity Patient Simulation (HFPS) on clinical reasoning skills and interprofessional competencies in Physical Therapy and Nursing students. The proposed study will have two objectives: 1. Assess the use of HFPS and whether it has an effect of improving physical therapy and nursing student performance related to clinical reasoning skills during simulated clinical situations. 2. Assess the use of HFPS and whether it has an effect of improving physical therapy and nursing student self-reported changes in team work and communication based on the IPEC core competencies Researchers will compare students who do not receive a simulation (Group C) to those who receive two simulations (Group E). Participants will: 1. Be assigned to one of 2 groups (Group C, Group E) 2. Based on group assignment receive no simulation or 2 simulations 3. Each group will be assessed at the end for their inter-professional attitudes and clinical reasoning skills
