Virtual Simulation Game (VSG) design and Facilitation 2-day Workshop
Location: University of Ottawa, Lees Campus
Workshop Description:
The authors of this workshop have developed a cost-effective virtual simulation game (VSG) toolkit for nurse educators to create educational virtual simulation games. This interactive 2-day faculty development workshop will guide participants through the process of developing and filming their own VSG from pre-existing simulation scenarios using the CAN-Sim VSG toolkit. Workshop topics include:
- Virtual Simulation Game Design
- Decision Point Mapping
- Script Writing
- Filming
- Game Assembly
- Resources
- Research
Cost: $399.00

SSH Regional Workshop – Ottawa, Ontario CANADA 
We are pleased to announce the University of Ottawa will be hosting the first Canadian offering of the Regional Simulation Workshop on October 17, 2019.
The Regional Simulation Workshop Series is a partnership program of the Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE), the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), and the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL). These interactive, one-day workshops are held four times annually at various locations throughout the contiguous United States and Canada to provide better access to this important educational content for simulation professionals from programs of all sizes. The program content is designed to help healthcare simulation educators improve the quality of their healthcare simulation programs and advance their professional development. In addition, workshop faculty will review the simulation standards and resources available to assist educators in advancing simulation in a changing regulatory environment.
During this workshop participants will discuss the application of best practices in healthcare simulation, including the following:
- NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Programs
- INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation
- ASPE Standards of Best Practices using Standardized Patient Methodology
- SSH Accreditation Standards
- SSH Certification Requirements (CHSE, CHSE-A, CHSOS)
- Canadian Simulation Certification (CCSNE)
Registration fee: Only $99 (US Funds)

CASN – Canadian Simulation Education Certification
The Simulation Certification Program fosters excellence in nursing education in Canada through faculty development in simulation-based pedagogy, practices, and technologies. The program prepares nurse educators to address a broad complement of practice learning needs and the full range of simulation typologies.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Simulation Certification Program encompasses four modules, each offered once per calendar year. Although the given sequence is recommended, modules may be taken in any order and over the course of two years. Every module culminates in a submitted assignment and a multiple-choice exam. Upon successful completion of all four modules, participants will be prepared to write the national certification exam to achieve the Canadian Certified Simulation Nurse Educator (CCSNE) designation.
Audience: Nurse educators using simulation in nursing education programs
Delivery: Online (Adobe Connect & Moodle)
Timeframe: Modules are 7-8 weeks
MODULES
Module 1: Theory and Design – next offering in winter 2020 Click here to register
Module 2: Facilitation – next offering in spring 2020
Module 3: Interprofessional Education – next offering in summer 2019
Module 4: Evaluation and Scholarship – next offering in fall 2019
