This is a four-part course. All four courses are required to earn the certificate. You do not have to sign up for all four courses at once. The four courses can be taken in any order.

DESCRIPTION: This innovative online certificate program is designed to explore the various components necessary to develop and run simulation scenarios within an academic or clinical setting.

WHO: Any nurse practicing in an education role who is interested in developing or working in a simulation program. This would be applicable to nurse educators in academia or healthcare facilities, preceptors, mentors, or staff nurses who are interested in learning more about this teaching pedagogy.

WHY: The content will provide the nuts and bolts of simulation to include how to assess educational needs, develop, implement and evaluate simulation experiences.

WHAT: In order to receive this 60-hour certificate (equal to 60 contact hours), completion of the four modules is required. Each module is 15 contact hours and is taught in an online format: 6 hours virtual live webinar, 9 hours online utilizing discussion boards and case studies, and required reading over the course of 4 weeks in an asynchronous manner.

Module 1: Overview of Simulation

Topics covered in this module: history, types of simulation, purpose, learning theory, learning styles, simulation lab resources

Learning Outcome: On successful completion of this program, the participant will be able to discuss the importance of simulation in clinical education and how it is used and apply educational theories in the development of simulation.

AGENDA for live day:

  • Session 1: History, Theory and Purpose of Simulation
  • Session 2: Standardized Participants
  • Session 3: Moulage, Development of a Simulation Center and Simulation Evaluation Tools
  • Session 4: Debriefing Overview, Interactive Simulation
  • 4 weeks of Readings and Discussion Board Posts and Responses on the Canvas LMS platform
