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.
The first module of the program focuses on competencies 1 and 2, which primarily address the initial phases of a simulation-based experience. Participants will learn to assess, develop, implement, and evaluate simulation as a teaching and learning tool that facilitates practice learning in nursing education. They will also learn to create and integrate simulation theory/knowledge into courses and programs to facilitate the acquisition of entry-to-practice nursing competencies among nursing students.
Audience: Nurse educators using simulation in nursing education programs
Delivery: Online (Adobe Connect & Moodle)
Timeframe: 7 weeks
Please note that participation in all live webinars is a course requirement.
The aim of this module is to foster excellence in the academic nurse educator role and to provide recognition and merit for the specialized knowledge, expertise, and competencies of this role in Canada.
Description
Module 4 focuses on competencies 5 and 6, which address the post-experience phases of a simulation-based experience. Participants will demonstrate their knowledge of appropriate evaluation of participants and the simulation-based learning activity. They will also show how a nurse educator with expertise in simulation participates and contributes to the larger learning simulation instructor community, both in Canada and globally.
