Due to COVID 19, Monash University’s Social Work Department moved all clinical practice skills teaching in the Master of Social Work (graduate entry level) fully online using synchronous audio-visual conferencing platform Zoom for the first time from March to June 2020. The innovations associated with this move included the development of clinical practice laboratories (CPLs) to prepare 154 students for a modified version of an Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE) and their first field education practicum. The use of simulated clients to facilitate experiential learning of active listening skills, rapport-building and empathic communication in this mode of delivery is described in detail to encourage overcoming previous issues in teaching clinical practice skills to students located at a distance from campus.

由于 COVID 19，蒙纳士大学的社会工作系于 2020 年 3 月至 2020 年 6 月首次使用同步视听会议平台 Zoom 将社会工作硕士（研究生入门级）的所有临床实践技能教学完全在线化。相关的创新这一举措包括开发临床实践实验室 (CPL)，为 154 名学生准备修改版的客观结构化临床考试 (OSCE) 和他们的第一次现场教育实习。详细描述了在这种交付模式中使用模拟客户来促进主动倾听技能、建立融洽关系和移情沟通的体验式学习，以鼓励克服以前向远离校园的学生教授临床实践技能的问题。
