Abstract
Practice-based education (PBE) prepares and develops learners for professional practice. It is usually associated with situated workplace learning undertaken in placements but also includes practice-based learning, facilitated through strategies including simulations, role plays and case-based learning, which can take place outside the workplace. Hence we argue that PBE is not synonymous with workplace learning. PBE strategies outside the workplace offer students opportunities to engage actively, holistically and collaboratively in a variety of immersive experiences mirroring the kinds of encounters they will experience in their professional practice.
