Innovative teaching approaches are changing traditional approaches by using a variety of teaching and learning methods to allow learners to succeed. This paper describes a new instructional model for healthcare education based on the science of learning, educational theories, and best practices in lesson design. The Visualize Whole-Self (VW) Model was designed to provide a learning structure for faculty as they guide the instruction of students in health professions. From the beginning of the program, students visualize themselves as professionals while working with faculty to learn content. The Visualize Whole-Self Model requires students to continually assess their strengths and weaknesses to achieve the course expectations and objectives. The VW Model allows faculty to plan lessons for students using the four quadrants of "Prepare Some, Practice Some, See Some," and "Prove Some." The quadrants within the model are flexible to ensure lesson designs are focused on the specific objectives or skills to be mastered. This structured approach to learning places the demonstration of mastery on the students and the development of background understanding, practice activities, and ongoing coaching on the faculty. Initially designed for occupational therapy (OT) education, the VW Model can be used by faculty in any healthcare profession that focuses on both cognitive and psychomotor knowledge and skill development. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the model is effective and further qualitative and quantitative studies are needed.
