5/16 @ 9:30AM PDT: Development of Distance Simulation Educator Guidelines in Healthcare
Presented by Rami A Ahmed, DO, MHPE, FACEP, May 16th at 9:30 AM, PDT, this CE webinar will discuss the development of the first set of consensus guidelines for distance simulation educators in healthcare. The abrupt disruption of in-person instruction in healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the rapid adoption of distance simulation as an immediate alternative to providing immersive simulation-based education. This massive instructional shift combined with the lack of educator training in this domain led to challenges for both learners and educators. The aim of this study is to disseminate the first set of competencies required of and unique to effective distance simulation educators. Learning objectives include:
- Discuss the development of consensus guidelines for distance simulation educators in healthcare.
- Describe the implications of the new consensus guidelines for all simulation educators in healthcare.
- Identify future faculty development and research opportunities stemming from the new consensus guidelines for simulation educators in healthcare.
