Simulation Program

SIM110 - Principles of Simulation

This course will explore the principles and methodology of simulation as a learning technique. Participants will be introduced to the national simulation standards and regulatory requirements that support the integration of simulation at Chamberlain University. By exploring the history and trends of simulation, participants will recognize the complexity and diverse opportunities available for teaching and learning with simulation. (11 Contact Hours) 

By the end of this course you will:

• CO1: Identify professional and ethical principles used in simulation facilitation and design to foster learning.
• CO2: Describe best practices used in simulation facilitation to promote learner engagement.
• CO3: Explore simulation design principles and methodologies used to develop evidence-based simulation experiences.
• CO4: Identify the key components of a strategic plan to create an effective simulation-based program.

SIM210 - Facilitating Simulation-Based Experiences

This course will provide guidance for the development and theoretical framework for individuals involved in the facilitation of simulation-based experiences.  It will guide the facilitator through processes to implement, assess, and manage simulation-based activities utilizing simulation standards and guidelines. (10 Contact Hours)  Prerequisite: SIM110

By the end of this course you will:

• CO1: Facilitate simulation-based experiences to foster critical thinking and clinical judgment skills. 
• CO2: Utilize evidence-based debriefing elements and methodologies to foster reflection and comprehension.
