This 3-day program is designed for individuals who desire more in-depth knowledge and skills in effectively incorporating simulation into all levels of health care education from undergraduate programs to staff development.  

Content is based on the current science and best practices from simulation literature as well as the expertise and experience gained since opening one of the first simulation centers in Minnesota over 8 years ago.  Course facilitators will share helpful tips ranging from how to easily remove tape residue to low budget AV options.

The course blends didactic content with group discussion, learning activities, and hands-on practice.  During the program, participants will create a scenario, facilitate their scenario, and lead the debriefing.  In addition, each participant will have the opportunity to be in the "hot seat" as a participant in at least one scenario and reflect on their performance as a scenario participant and facilitator.
