A high impact practice is a pedagogical approach which requires an investment of time and energy over an extended period that has unusually positive effects on student engagement in educationally purposeful behavior (Kuh, 2010). High impact practices are evidence-based teaching and learning practices that have been widely tested and shown to be beneficial for college students (Kuh, 2008).
Characteristics of high-impact activities include: setting appropriately high expectations of students; interaction with faculty and peers about substantive matters; experiences with diversity; frequent feedback; reflection and integrative learning; real-world applications; and demonstrated competence.

What do you appreciate most about the HIP(s) that you have infused into the courses you teach?
The HIP I am the most frequently associated with is work-based learning with clinical rotations. Our clinical rotations are built into our program at the same time as taking other courses. I enjoy seeing students start to get real world experience with actual patients. Practicing the skills they learn in class on real patients helps provide purpose and context to what the students learn in class.

Minimum Definition of Practice-
Work-based Learning represents credit-bearing experience that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships, practicums, clinicals, co-ops and similar experiences, integrated with a class or related to a major field of study, give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied learning and make connections in professional fields students are considering for career paths, while giving employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent (NACE, 2011).
