  • Apply evidence-based simulation theory and practice to create scenarios that enhance medication administration safety.

SPN M1: Foundations of Standardized Patient Methodology

Instructed by Debra Nestel AM Ph.D., FAcadMed FSSH, Cathy Smith Ph.D., MA, BA(Hons), CHSE, and Jennifer Harlim Ph.D. MBA BA(Hons), this online 5-hour beginner CE course introduces fundamental concepts in simulated participant Standardized Patient methodology. Foundation Program (M1) introduces the concept of SP methodology. It covers covering key terms and scope of practice, it considers the who, what, why, and how of the method and acknowledges its origins.

The scope of practice of SPs and their unique features are also discussed. The instructors outline standards associated with SP methodology and share some of their favorite SP methodology resources. You’re introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work by experts in the field. Throughout the course, you’re encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting. Learning objectives include:

  • Define the terms – “standardized patient” and simulated patient (SP)
  • Recognize different terms used in SP methodology
  • Outline the scope of practice of SPs
  • Outline standards associated with SP methodology

SPN M2: Creating Roles for Standardized Patients

Taught by Debra Nestel AM Ph.D. FAcadMed FSSH, Cathy Smith Ph.D. MA BA(Hons) CHSE, and Jennifer Harlim Ph.D. MBA BA(Hons), Course 2 (M2) introduces approaches to creating roles for Standardized Patients. This task is fundamental to SP work – usually a text document (sometimes with audiovisual supplements), the written SP role provides guidance to the SP about their character, the purpose of the scenario, and their health issue (or other relevant information). There is no one right way to do this.

However, some approaches seem better suited to some contexts than others. Templates are valuable for documenting roles. They prompt the authors for specific and usually critical information. We share approaches and templates. You’re introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work. Throughout the course, you’re encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting. Learning objectives include to:

  • Identify key elements of a “standardized” or simulated patient (SP) role
  • Describe approaches to writing roles for SPs
  • Write an SP role draft
  • Outline approaches to evaluation of SP roles

SPN M3: Training Methods for Standardized Patient Role Portrayal

Taught by Debra Nestel AM PhD FAcadMed FSSH, Cathy Smith PhD MA BA(Hons) CHSE, and Jennifer Harlim PhD MBA BA(Hons), Module 3 introduces approaches to training SPs for role portrayal. There is no one right way to do this. We share approaches that we have used for many years and others that are documented in literature. The approaches are sufficiently flexible to suit the different contexts in which SPs work. They are engaging and the 4-stage approach is informed by performance theory. We also share techniques that help SPs to remember aspects of their roles for portrayal. You’re introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work by experts in the field. Throughout the course, you’re encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting. Learn objectives include to:

  • Outline the importance of training SPs for role portrayal.
  • Describe a systematic approach to SP training for role portrayal.
  • Identify benefits and challenges of the 4-stage model.
  • Consider alternative approaches to training SPs for role portrayal.

Some of you will be managing a program on your own while others will have a team in place.

We focus on five areas: key aspects of SP program management, including the types of activities and roles and responsibilities of the person responsible for program management; SP recruitment; SP databases; challenges in managing SP programs; and program quality management. You’re introduced to a wide range of resources with core and extension work by experts in the field. Throughout the course, you’re encouraged to make meaning of the content for your own setting. Learning objectives include to:
