A Scoping Literature Review of Simulation Training Program Curriculum Standards.

Simulation educator training is well supported in the literature and endorsed by the Society of Simulation in Healthcare as well as the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning. Despite growth of domestic and international training programs, there is a lack of consensus regarding curriculum standards. Our aim was to identify core curricular components of comprehensive simulation training programs.

Understanding Learners' Experiences of Simulated Person Methodology in an Athletic Therapy Program.

Introduction Key skills required of today's students include critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, collaboration, and communication. The acquisition of these skills is foundational to success in a variety of professions and contexts. This study complements a larger simulated person methodology (SPM) project that utilizes simulators (individuals who are trained to realistically reproduce scenarios by providing specific information, displaying signs and behaviours, and creating a realistic encounter in a consistent manner) to replicate real workplace issues, thus affording students an opportunity to apply knowledge and practice real-life skills necessary to the workplace.
