Provide feedback during the learning experience. Learners should repetitively practice skills. Integrate simulators into the overall curriculum. Learners should practice increasing levels of difficulty. Adapt the simulations for multiple learning strategies. Ensure the simulator provides for clinical variation. Learning should occur in a controlled environment. Provide individual ized (in addition to team ) learning. Clearly define outcomes & benchmarks for the learners. Ensure the simulator is a valid learning tool.

Step 1: Skill identification Simulation-Based Athletic Training Education: Beyond the smoke and mirrors

Step 2: Incorporate stimulation into a course – Consider course learning objectives – Publish simulation learning objectives on the syllabus Purposeful Accountability – Learning-over-time Simulation-Based Athletic Training Education: Beyond the smoke and mirrors

Step 3: Develop the simulation scenario(s) – Who will develop the simulation scenarios? – Who will facilitate the debriefing sessions? – How will student performance be evaluated? Simulation-Based Athletic Training Education: Beyond the smoke and mirrors

Step 4: Simulation execution – Who will “act” in the simulation scenarios? – Who will evaluate student performance? Simulation-Based Athletic Training Education: Beyond the smoke and mirrors

Step 5: Closing the loop – Simulation scenarios What worked? What did not work? Revise and formalize scenarios – Performance outcomes Identify weaknesses in student knowledge/skills Revise courses/curriculum Simulation-Based Athletic Training Education: Beyond the smoke and mirrors
