Simulation Instructor Training Course

The UC Irvine Medical Education Simulation Center is offering an intensive one-day Instructor course designated for healthcare simulation instructors. The course is designed to combine elements of theory, practice, and immersive experiential learning focusing on simulation as a teaching tool. The course will allow participants to learn about the history, context, and theory of patient simulation, debriefing strategies, and designing simulation curriculum. Participants will also have the opportunity to apply skills learned through deliberate practice.

Target Audience
MD, DO, RN, allied health specialists and medical educators

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Discuss the role of simulation-based medical education
