22. (CE) Transformative Healthcare Simulation: 7 Layers of Change
Presented by: Sharon Weldon, PhD, MSc, BSc (Hons), RGN, Andy Buttery, BSc; MSc; DipMedEd (Dist.); RODP and Colette Laws-Chapman RN, FHEA. This CE webinar is hosted by leadership of the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) Transformative Simulation Special-Interest-Group (SIG). Transformative forms of healthcare simulation are happening globally. The potential to transform health and care is wide and varied through clinical simulation, yet our understanding is fragmented. Ultimately, this growing body of work and area of interest need an umbrella term and clear special definitions to guide and develop the field both in practice and research. Therefore, the term ‘transformative simulation’ was developed to describe clinical simulation as a tool to transform health and care through collective understanding, insight and learning, and to distinguish the practice from the more traditional educational/pedagogical approaches that are more commonly practiced, or from specific system-focussed applications only.

12. (CE) What I Wish My Faculty Knew: Learner Perspectives on Clinical Simulation
Presented by: Efrem Violato, PhD. While clinical faculty may have a strong connection with their clinical students and a valid perception of the learner experience of clinical simulation, the professional roles of educators and researchers inherently limit what students share. This resistance to providing honest learner feedback temporally and spatially limits the faculty’s understanding of students’ experiences to the educational or research setting.This CE presentation aims to better inform medical simulation educators and researchers about student engagement and how to construct better learning experiences and support students in simulated training. Students of varying experience levels will present their perspectives and experiences with healthcare simulation and how to support their learning in healthcare simulation to better become “practice-ready”.
11. (CE) How to Map Healthcare Simulation Objectives to Program Outcomes
Presented by: Teresa Gore, PhD, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, CHSE-A, FSSH, FAAN. Educators must explore strategies for designing, mapping, and implementing clinical simulations into an academic nursing program to meet the overall course and program outcomes. As nursing transitions into a competency-based educational program, the need to capture and document each student’s competencies is imperative. Designing the simulations with SMART objectives aligns with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (2021). Each simulation’s objectives can then be mapped into a document to capture when, where, and the level of the student over an entire academic program. The objectives and skills can then be correlated with AACN Core Competencies and the overall program outcomes.
10. (CE) Replacing Traditional Clinical Rotations with Nursing Simulation
Presented by: Dustin Chan, RN, BScN, EMBA (candidate) and Viola Manokore, PhD. A groundbreaking study done in the USA provided empirical evidence that substituting high-quality simulation-based experiences for up to 50% of traditional clinical hours was just as effective in providing learners with requisite knowledge and skills students would need upon graduation (Hayden, Keegan, Kardong-Edgren, & Smiley, 2014). In simulated based learning, learners work on complex problems in controlled environments that mimic real word scenarios (Lateef, 2010). Simulation-based education (SBE) is used in healthcare to facilitate students’ acquisition knowledge and skills through working with ‘ex-vivo’ patients in controlled safe learning environments without compromising the safety of real patients (Alinier & Oriot, 2022; Alinier & Platt, 2014; Aqel & Ahmad, 2014; Shin, Park & Kim, 2015).

The individual components of SBML will be discussed including the need for pretests and posttests, deliberate practice, and the minimum passing standard. Dr. Barsuk will describe how SBML can be used to document that students (medical and nursing) and residents/fellows have reached a high level of proficiency as required by Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) or Milestones. He will also discuss how SBML also can be used to provide practicing clinicians’ credentials, hospital privileges, and continuing education. Examples of the use of SBML will be given for EPAs, Milestones, credentialing, hospital privileges, and continuing education. At the end of the webinar Dr. Barsuk will discuss an immersive/hands-on course held at Northwestern Simulation that will teach attendees how to design and evaluate SBML curricula.
5. (CE) Building a Professional Development Plan for the Clinical Simulation Facilitator
Presented by: Lori Persico, PhD, RN, CHSE, Heather MacLean, RN, MN, CHSE, CCSNE, and Robert Catena, MN, RN, CHSE, CCSNE. The facilitator role in simulation-based education is designed to meet the needs of learners and achieve desired outcomes by providing structure and guidance for accomplishing learning objectives. As the educator, the facilitator manages and oversees the entire simulation-based experience. Facilitating such an experience requires a skilled and knowledgeable facilitator who can effectively guide and support participants in reaching their learning goals. Orientation, education, and skill assessment are crucial for facilitators to maintain their effectiveness in this role. The competency of the facilitator is essential, as learning may vary depending on participants’ levels, cultural and individual differences, the objectives of the simulation, the context of the experience, and whether the simulation experience is conducted live or virtually. The Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice: Facilitation is the framework that helps design an educational pathway that leads to best practice and competence.
