Description
Healthcare Simulation Professional Practice — HSP-100
Healthcare simulation is more than operating a manikin or running a scenario. Effective simulation requires an understanding of learning science, human factors, facilitation, debriefing, assessment, program operations, quality improvement, technology, and leadership.
Healthcare Simulation Professional Practice (HSP-100) is a comprehensive 12-hour online continuing education course designed for healthcare professionals and educators who develop, deliver, evaluate, support, or lead simulation-based education.
HSP-100 takes an evidence-informed approach to the professional practice of healthcare simulation. Rather than focusing on a single simulation modality or clinical specialty, the course examines the complete simulation environment—from selecting appropriate modalities and creating psychologically safe learning experiences to evaluating outcomes, managing simulation operations, and demonstrating organizational value.
What You’ll Learn
The course addresses 12 major areas of healthcare simulation professional practice:
- Simulation Modalities and Fidelity
- Human Factors, Systems and Patient Safety
- Interprofessional Simulation
- Advanced Facilitation, Feedback and Debriefing
- Assessment, Reliability and Validity
- Simulation Research and Evidence
- Quality Improvement Through Simulation
- Simulation Operations and Technology
- Program Administration, Budgeting and Sustainability
- Virtual Simulation and Emerging Technology
- Simulation Leadership and Advocacy
- Professional Practice Integration
These subject areas reflect the breadth of the HSP-100 curriculum, including facilitation and debriefing, assessment, operations, quality improvement, emerging technology, leadership, and professional-practice integration.
Evidence-Informed, Practical Education
HSP-100 goes beyond simply presenting simulation techniques. Learners examine the evidence behind common simulation practices and learn to distinguish established findings from expert consensus, contested evidence, and areas where evidence remains limited.
Case-based and systems-based applications connect the material to real healthcare education, patient-safety, quality-improvement, operational, and program-management challenges.
Designed for Healthcare Professionals and Educators
HSP-100 is appropriate for:
- EMTs and Paramedics
- EMS instructors and training officers
- Nurses and physicians
