Clinical Simulation Educators Programme

Be a Successful Simulation Educator 

This four-day, face-to-face programme, equips participants with the skills, knowledge and practical experience to enable informed choices to be made regarding where, how, and when Clinical Simulation is applicable. It is designed for faculty and clinicians who wish their teaching skills to be current, credible and at the cutting edge. 

Teaching and learning strategy

Participants will be actively engaged in challenging but well-supported activities. The focus will be on designing, managing, and evaluating skills acquisition through simulation. It will equip participants with the knowledge to design and analyze simulation-based education, teach them the fundamentals of different simulation modalities, promote cultural sensitivity and ethical reasoning, and help them improve their teaching skills.​
