The Missing Link: Cognitive Apprenticeship as a Mentorship Framework for Simulation Facilitator Development

The use of simulation-based education (SBE) as an educational tool for professional development within healthcare organizations is growing (Cheng  et al., 2015). Within the healthcare context, SBE facilitators are generally busy clinicians or clinical educators who have numerous responsibilities and are unable to devote large amounts of time for participation in a formal faculty development program (Kumar et al., 2018; McGaghie et al.,20 10; Norquest& Sundberg, 2015).
