Regional Simulation Workshop, presented by ASPE, SSH & INACSL

The Regional Simulation Workshops are a partnership between the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL), and Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE). During this workshop participants will:

• Discuss the application of best practices of simulation including:

• NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Programs  

• INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation

• ASPE Standards of Best Practices using Standardized Patient Methodology

• Describe the application of the SSH Accreditation Standards in their own center to improve quality of simulation programs.

• Explain the benefits of SSH certifications (CHSE, CHSE-A, CHSOS) as a developmental pathway for simulationists.  

• Identify the benefits of membership in ASPE, INACSL, and SSH.

The Regional Simulation Workshop leaders will review the simulation standards and resources available to assist schools and/or organizations as they advance simulation in a changing regulatory environment.

Attendees receive 6 CNE credits for participating in this day long workshop.

The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning is accredited as a provider of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
