<p>Lab is where the rubber hits the road.&nbsp; The students get to use their hands AND their minds together.&nbsp; I have them repeat tasks so they develop "muscle memory" so when they are tested, they don't shake, but rather just go through the motions and perform the task correctly.&nbsp; It helps build confidence.&nbsp; I agree with my colleagues that there are a lot of "light bulb" moments as they integrate a concept into a reality based situation.&nbsp; They are then able to translate that directly into their clinical/work experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
