Faculty Development
Please Note: All new users of the Center for Simulation and Clinical Innovation, defined as anyone conducting simulation-based experiences or clinical skill programs in the CSCI, must have completed faculty development modules or provided documentation of completion or participation in other simulation development courses or fellowships by the Fall Semester of 2024. Existing faculty who have already submitted documentation of completing the Simulation Faculty Development will need to provide documentation of ongoing faculty development in the realm of simulation pedagogy by fall 2024. Examples include but are not limited to attending a simulation-related webinar, a simulation-focused conference or other simulation-related development activities such as simulation fellowships, the INACSL Core Four, or the National League for Nursing SIRC modules. Please see the links below for access to free webinars or other simulation-related learning activities. Please submit your documentation of simulation faculty development to Ron Streetman via email at rtstreet@umich.edu for verification and tracking purposes.
The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning: The Cornerstones of Best Practice (Core 4) can be purchased as a four-course bundle or individually to customize your learning experience and meet your professional development goals from the comfort of your own home. This program serves as an alternative learning environment for simulationists who are unable to commit to a long-term course format or who want to customize their Healthcare Simulation Standards learning plan.
National League for Nursing: NLN Simulation Innovation Resource Center courses are an online e-learning solution for simulation faculty and staff development. SIRC courses are designed for faculty and staff development, covering a range of topics from the basics of integrating and debriefing simulations to conducting evaluations and research. Continuing Education credits are offered for each course.
Society for Simulation in Healthcare: Elevate your simulation education with the Standards, Core Competencies, and Best Practices in Healthcare Simulation Series, a collaborative program from ASPE, SSH, and INACSL. This newly reimagined workshop delivers expert-led insights to enhance simulation programs and advance your professional development.
