Abstract
Implementing a completely hybrid doctor of physical therapy (DPT) curriculum involves a new kind of "mixology" in both the academy and in the profession. This session uses a cocktail metaphor to describe key ingredients, techniques, processes, and outcomes associated with hybrid instruction in the health professions. Specifically-how does one blend psychomotor instruction? What aspects of the institution are best stirred? What needs to be shaken? Which faculty and student characteristics enhance the "taste' of blended learning? Lastly, is there a secret ingredient for the perfect blended course?
