1. SIMULATION STIMULATION IN THE CLASSROOM
BRING SIMULATION INTO THE CLASSROOM

2. Goals and objectives
Goal: Increase the use of simulation in health care courses.
Objectives
Introduce the types of simulation activities that can be used in the classroom.
Provide a template for organizing simulation activities
Provide an example of an assessment of the simulation

3. Overview
What are some of the most challenging concepts for your students or for you to present?
Blood circulation from the heart and lungs
Electrophysiology of the heart muscle
Therapeutic communication skills
Normal and abnormal breath or bowel sounds
Intravenous line insertions

4. Overview Can simulation assist in presenting that concept?
Videos-interactive
Low fidelity simulators( anatomical models and skills training stations)
Medium fidelity simulators (such as those which provide various sounds or positions ex. CPR mannequins)
High fidelity simulators (Medi-Man, I Stan, Lucinda)

5. Where do I start? End of Program Objectives Course Objectives
Be a manager of care for clients and their families in a variety of healthcare settings.
Course Objectives
Manage the care needs for clients with medical-surgical alterations.
Student Learning Outcomes
Identify all physiological/psychological alterations based on history and physical assessments.
Identify the appropriate technology required for performing nursing assessments.

8. How do I assess the effectiveness
Classroom Assessment Techniques
Pre and post tests
Muddiest points
Student generated test questions
Classroom Opinion poll
Application cards
Summarizing
Simple Survey
Other Assessments
Return demonstrations
Quiz
Concept map
Exam questions

9. How do I get started Planning Practice Implement
Use a template to insure the simulation meets the SLO’s
Make sure all supplies, equipment and technology are working.
Allow enough time for simulation activities.
Practice
Implement
Evaluation of the students engagement, student learning outcomes.
