The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to simulation for health professional educators. The history of simulation and the pedagogical theories and frameworks underpinning simulation-based education will be explored. Components of simulation design and how they impact learning will be examined and applied. Further, the role of simulation in assessment of competency, licensure, certification, and research will be discussed.
