Simulation Instructor Course

Simulation Instructor Course Overview

The UCLA Simulation Instructor Training course is a two day course for those who would like to learn more about teaching with high fidelity scenario-based simulation. The course objectives are to explore the key elements/theories behind simulation-based education and instruction, practice effective debriefing techniques, and develop and pilot a full simulation scenario. This course emphasizes the role of the simulation instructor as a facilitator and does not focus on technical aspects such as software programming or simulator troubleshooting.

The Simulation Instructor Course is open to healthcare professionals in the UCLA Health System, as well as outside health institutions.
