The Need for Specialized Training in Clinical Simulation
Healthcare simulation training has evolved rapidly over the last decade. Clinical simulation has demonstrated the ability to improve patient care and outcomes when implemented by trained simulationists. To facilitate meaningful simulation in a comprehensive simulation program, simulationists should receive proper training techniques and methodologies. An essential in any simulation program is the development of staff and faculty on how to effectively deliver simulation experiences to ensure the preparedness of healthcare workers. Aligned with national simulation standards, Chamberlain University’s simulation program course “Facilitating Simulation-Based Experiences” educates participants on the techniques and methodologies necessary to deliver realistic simulated experiences for staff development to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.
These healthcare simulation program courses aim to standardize simulation training to leverage evidence-based methodologies to guide simulation experiences. The course programs promote clinical competence simulation-based experiences to help foster critical thinking and clinical judgment skills consistently throughout an organization. When the healthcare staff is prepared to deliver high-quality, evidence-based practice care the organization’s preparedness to meet patient’s needs across the continuum of care. Simulation educators must know how to facilitate all aspects of simulation including preparation, briefing, enactment, and debriefing. The courses utilize real-life examples to interactively engage learners in a deeper understanding of their roles as facilitators.
These newly offered courses from HealthStream and Chamberlain University develop simulation educators on how to purposefully debrief and guide the participants in linking actions and outcomes to promote clinical judgment. The courses cover how to build an inclusive organizational culture, support diverse groups and participant self-perception, examine personal and professional bias, and review cultural implications and professionalism.

Chamberlain University’s Chief Academic Officer Carla Sanderson shared that “Chamberlain has embraced simulated clinical learning experiences since the introduction of high-fidelity simulators in healthcare education. Through the expertise of Chamberlain’s team of simulation thought leaders and clinical learning design experts, we are pleased to extend our comprehensive simulation program beyond traditional nursing education to practice settings, influencing excellence in the use of simulation for our clinical partners.”
Principles of Simulation Course
The Principles of Simulation course will explore the principles and methodology of simulation as a learning technique. Participants will be introduced to the national simulation standards and regulatory requirements that support the integration of simulation. By exploring the history and trends of simulation, participants will recognize the complexity and diverse opportunities available for teaching and learning with healthcare simulation.
The course objectives are:
- Identify professional and ethical principles used in clinical simulation facilitation and design to foster learning.
- Describe best practices used in medical simulation facilitation to promote learner engagement.
- Explore simulation design principles and methodologies used to develop evidence- based clinical simulation experiences.
- Identify the key components of a strategic plan to create an effective healthcare simulation-based programs
Facilitating Simulation-Based Experiences
The Facilitating Simulation-Based Experiences course will provide guidance for the development and theoretical framework for individuals involved in the facilitation of the simulation-based experiences. This will guide the facilitator through processes to implement, assess and manage simulation-based activities utilizing simulation standards and guidelines.
The course objectives are:
- Facilitate simulation-based experiences to foster critical thinking and clinical judgment skills.
- Utilize evidence-based debriefing elements and methodologies to foster reflection and
Comprehension.
