Formal training efforts to develop simulation educators: An integrative review

Presented by:

Jane B. Paige PhD, RN, CNE, CHSE
Professor, Undergraduate Program Director Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) – School of Nursing Milwaukee, WI

Leslie Graham RN MN PhD(c) CNCE CHSE
Professor Nursing, Durham College
Adjunct Professor, University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ontario Canada

Barbara Sittner PhD, RN, APRN-CNS, ANEF
Professor of Nursing, Simulation Center Director, Bryan College of Health Sciences, Lincoln, NE

Description: This webinar will explore the author’s integrative review of simulation literature in response to the questions “What is Formalized Training” in simulation and “How” do we formalize this training?  As simulation educators, the authors will describe the importance of faculty development, explore methods of delivery, and provide future recommendations for simulation educators to maximize the delivery of simulation-based education.

Building on the Basics and Best Practices for Debriefing –

Present by:
Elizabeth Horsley RN, ME, CHSE
Director of Simulation
The Brooklyn Hospital Center

Elizabeth began her career as an Operating Room Nurse. She transitioned to nursing education in 2003, and in 2005 was the lead on overseeing a half-million-dollar development grant from the province of Ontario to develop and implement a clinical simulation program in an undergraduate nursing program. In April of 2017, she was recruited to the position of Director of Simulation at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. She has transformed a forgotten simulation lab and random pieces of equipment into a robust and thriving space in a community hospital. Her role runs the gamut from implementing deliberate practice modules for residents and medical students to incorporating simulation in staff education to enhance the patient experience.  

This webinar will review the importance of the debriefing role to support best practices in simulation facilitation.

Establishing Psychological Safety In Simulation

Presented by: Dr. Nicole Harder and Sufia Turner
Rady Faculty of Health Sciences
University of Manitoba

Psychological involves “a feeling or climate whereby the learner can feel valued and comfortable yet still speak up and take risks without fear of retribution, embarrassment, judgment or consequences either to themselves or others, thereby promoting learning and innovation” (Turner & Harder, 2018).  In the new era of simulation-based education, it is important to ensure psychological safety.  This webinar will explore the origins of psychological safety and how it applies to nursing simulation-based learning opportunities, identify the antecedents and attributes of psychological safety, and discuss the importance of ensuring psychological safety for the learning to optimize learning.

Preparing for the CHSE Exam

Presented by: Andrew Spain
Director of Certification for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare

Description: 

As Director of Certification for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, Andrew has been a Paramedic for 27 years doing both ground and air ambulance work.  This evolved into directing an EMS Education program for five years prior to coming to SSH.  He has an MA in Political Science and is currently working on his dissertation for a PhD in Education at the University of Missouri (emphasis in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis). The SSH developed the certification process for educators focused on healthcare simulation. This webinar provides an overview of the exam and related requirements to sit for the exam.

 Innovations in Teaching and Learning – The Use of Virtual Simulation Games (VSG) in Nursing

Presented by: Dr. Marian Luctkar-Flude and Dr. Jane Tyerman

Games and gaming technology have moved beyond the traditional domain of entertainment since gaining popularity within healthcare education.  Limitations of VSG development included the high cost of gaming software, time commitment for development, and significant manpower including computer programmers, subject matter experts, learning theorists, game designers and instructional design specialists.  This accounts for the prohibitive cost associated with game development.  This is especially problematic as VSG are an ideal platform for Interprofessional education (IPE).  To address this issue, the authors developed a cost-effective VSG development platform. This webinar will highlight a user-friendly approach to virtual simulation game development.
