Simulation standards of best practice: developing strong simulations
ACAPT's Simulation in Physical Therapy Education Consortium (SIPTEC) represents institutional members with a strong interest in simulation as a pedagogical approach to the education and professional development of physical therapist students, residents/fellows, and clinical educators. PT instructors at ACAPT member institutions can join SIPTEC for free.
Whether you are just starting to use simulation in physical therapy education, or you are experienced with delivering simulation-based learning experiences, it is helpful to know and understand simulation Standards of Best Practice. These standards, developed by other healthcare disciplines, can be easily applied to simulation development in physical therapy education.
This session outlines the International Nursing Association for Clinical Learning and Simulation’s (INACSL) newly-revised Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice. Attendees will analyze a mock scenario for application of the Standards of Best Practice and leave with a solid foundation for developing their own simulation-based learning experiences based on widely recognized best practices.
