Who Should Attend

• Individuals from all professions across Australia who currently or intend to use simulation as an educational method with students or health/social care professionals.

What You Will Learn

• There are over 60 learning objectives across the 14 modules.
• The breadth of topics is a feature of the NHET-Sim program.
• After completing the core modules, participants would be expected to be able to:
  • Define key terms used in simulation-based education (SBE)
  • Discuss drivers for SBE
  • Describe various types of simulation modalities
  • Explain key components of SBE
  • Debate the benefits of teaching and learning with simulation
  • Debate the limitations of teaching and learning with simulation
  • Access publicly available resources on SBE
  • Outline theories that inform SBE
  • Outline the responsibilities of a simulation educator
  • Review and demonstrate the preparation phase of the simulation cycle
  • Review and demonstrate the briefing phase of the simulation cycle
  • Review and demonstrate the debriefing and feedback phase of the simulation cycle

Program Structure

• The NHET-Sim Program is made up of two modes; e-learning and workshops.
• The e-learning modules are made up of 2 core foundational modules and 12 elective modules.
• Out of the 14 full modules, 9 have optional workshop components.
• Participants can choose which modules they wish to complete and certificates are issued at the completion of each module.

Testimonials

• NHET-Sim has created a new community, inter-ward and inter-hospital conversations and provided a common language for us.
• The course substantially improved my skills, knowledge, and attitudes towards simulation.
