Full course description
OVERVIEW
Healthcare simulation allows students to learn and practice skills in a safe environment without involving real patients. It also exposes students to experiences similar to those that take place in a true clinical setting. Do you need to learn how to develop a simulation that suits your professional setting and needs? The lessons in this six-week course, will teach you how to integrate simulation into your program, develop effective scenarios, and conduct productive debriefing sessions.
