Format

Designed for the busy healthcare educator with limited time, the Simulation and Advanced Skills Center Simulation Educator Workshop boasts a blended learning approach that combines customized peer-to-peer and mentor feedback during online learning followed by an immersive, two-day in-person, interactive workshop. About a month prior to the in-person course held at the Simulation Center in Cleveland, Ohio, enrolled participants prepare and submit assignments based on individual schedules. Once onsite, daily formats vary and include small and large group discussions, practical exercises with feedback, and scenario building with practice facilitating a scenario from pre-brief to debrief.
