Abstract:
Educators must explore strategies for designing, mapping, and implementing clinical simulations into an academic nursing program to meet the overall course and program outcomes. As nursing transitions into a competency-based educational program, the need to capture and document each student’s competencies is imperative. Designing the simulations with SMART objectives aligns with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (2021). Each simulation’s objectives can then be mapped into a document to capture when, where, and the level of the student over an entire academic program. The objectives and skills can then be correlated with AACN Core Competencies and the overall program outcomes.
This webinar will provide examples of mapping psychomotor skills labs and simulations across an undergraduate BSN curriculum to provide a roadmap for a complete view of the program.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the Healthcare Simulation Standards application to mapping clinical simulations.
- Discuss the steps required for medical simulation development and mapping.
- Explore a curricula map of skills labs and healthcare simulations across a clinical education program.
