  1. Foundations of Simulation-Based EducationHow adults learn in simulation: experience, reflection, deliberate practice · Writing objectives you can observe and measure · Choosing fidelity and modality for an educational goal · Psychological safety and the fiction contract · Standards for simulation educators
  2. Designing ScenariosNeeds assessment: from a clinical problem to a learning need · The scenario template: case, states, cues, and expected actions · Briefing simulated participants and embedded roles · Working with operations: the build request and the run sheet · Piloting and revising a scenario
  3. Prebriefing and FacilitationA prebrief that prepares learners without giving the case away · Facilitating in the moment: cueing, pausing, and redirecting · Managing stress, emotion, and unexpected events · Interprofessional teams in simulation · Facilitating remote and in situ sessions
  4. DebriefingDebriefing structures: reactions, analysis, summary · Advocacy and inquiry: asking about the frame behind the action · Blended debriefing: choosing the right approach for the moment · Difficult debriefs: conflict, silence, and distress · Getting better as a debriefer: peer feedback and self-review
  5. Assessment and EvaluationFormative and summative assessment in simulation · Checklists, rating scales, and rater training · Fair high-stakes assessment · Evaluating programs: from reaction to patient outcomes · Using data to improve a curriculum
  6. Leading Simulation EducationFaculty development that sticks · Integrating simulation into a curriculum · Scholarship and research in simulation · Ethics, professionalism, and integrity · Your path to educator certification
