Board #229 - Program Innovation Training Facilitators for Simulation in Healthcare Education (Submission #10075).

Conclusion: Over the three times the short course has been offered, only one of approximately 47 participants has not completed the entire course to earn the training certificate on simulation in healthcare education. Participants have commented positively on the experience, both verbally and in writing. For most of the healthcare providers who facilitate in the Sim Lab, the experience provides the opportunity to actively stay involved in clinical aspects of medicine. Students who attend the scheduled Sim Lab sessions as part of their curriculum, consistently provide positive evaluations. In Spring 2014, feedback by facilitators were reported as excellent (93%) and very good (6%), on average. The short course has met our objectives of having trained facilitators for Sim Lab sessions. Also, it has contributed to the educational development of the course participants. We envision continuing to offer this course, and regularly explore ways to improve the content and delivery.
