1. Objectives

After completing this module, viewers will be able to:

  1. Describe the clinical and pedagogical rationales for simulation-based education

  2. List situations in which simulation may be the most effecitve teaching method

  3. Write educational objectives that fulfill the “ABCD” and “SMART” criteria

  4. Identify the most appropriate simulation modality for attaining a variety of different learning objectives

2. Preparation in Advance

Before beginning this module, consider:
  • What are some of the most essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes that learners in my department/program need to ensure safe, effective, and patient-centered care?
  • What are some of the ways I have seen simulation used effectively in healthcare training? What was it that made it so effective?
