Simulation Excellence

Maximize students' learning experiences with the Simulation Excellence Series

Learn about new simulation standards, simulation learning strategies, how to maximize learner outcomes, and more in the Center for Professional Development and Lifelong Learning's FREE three-part series for educators who use simulation in nursing education.

Mark your calendars now, and join us virtually via Zoom for 90-minute sessions with IU Faculty and Simulation Pedagogy experts Dr. Megan Stuffle, Marian Gilhooly, and Madonna Wilson. These sessions are available at no cost to Indiana University School of Nursing faculty, partners, and graduate students who interact with simulation in their teaching. This includes BSN faculty, MSN faculty, MSN in Nursing Education students, Fairbanks Simulation tech, Kenyan faculty partners, and others.

Offered during spring and fall semesters
A Certificate of Completion will be issued after the three-part series has been finished.
This activity has been approved for ANCC Contact Hours by Indiana University School of Medicine.

Simulation Excellence Series

Part 1: Professional Integrity and Facilitation

During the first part of the series, discuss the role of the facilitator in a simulation, evaluate practices that aid the learner in achieving the learning objectives, evaluate the preparation necessary to maximize learning outcomes in simulation, learn the standards of practice, guidelines, principles, and ethics as they relate to simulation, and more!

Please choose ONE session and register at the links below.

Tuesday, January 23 from 7 to 8:30 a.m.

Monday, January 29 from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Part 2: Prebriefing and Debriefing

During the second part of the series, identify components required to make sure students are prepared for the simulation experience, learn best practices for debriefing a simulation experience, discuss effective debriefing practices, and more.

Tuesday, February 27 from 7 to 8:30 a.m.

Wednesday, February 28 from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

Part 3: Simulation Development Workshop

During the third part of the series, join in three sessions all about simulation design. The purpose of the Simulation Development Workshop is for faculty to create or revise a simulation scenario. In the first session, learn about simulation design resources and discuss simulation objectives, learning goals, as well as the types of simulation available. In the second session, present a draft simulation scenario for feedback and discuss additional resources that might be useful to your simulation. In the third session, learn about simulation evaluation tools and more!

Please register for ALL THREE sessions at the links below.

Friday, March 22 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Monday, April 15 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Monday, April 29 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

An updated schedule with fall session dates will be posted in Summer 2024.
