COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is a blend of both asynchronous and synchronous online learning that offers a jump-start into simulation-based health care education. Participants will learn to apply best practices in high-fidelity simulation. Using a dual focus on academic and practice settings, key theoretical concepts and strategies will be explored to support health care educators in providing safe, effective learning environments. The basics of the WSSA Level 1 curriculum will be flexed to meet the needs of the group, followed by Level 3 scenario development and debriefing strategies.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe current educational theory supporting simulation as an effective learning strategy for health care teams.
- Identify the key elements of an effective simulation scenario.
- Develop a clinical simulation that incorporates the key learning objectives and QSEN competencies.
- Define the concept of implicit bias and how to incorporate it into effective scenario development.
- Facilitate a clinical simulation via Zoom followed by a debriefing.
