The Boise State University School of Nursing is excited and honored to co-sponsor a two-day workshop with the National League for Nursing (NLN) in an effort to promote the use of simulation in health care education, to meet the needs for collaboration, communication and teamwork resulting in improved care, enhanced safety, and reduction of human error. The workshop, titled “Beyond the Basics:Innovative Simulation Topics for Health Care Educators,” will be held on April 27 and 28 and will examine what is currently known about simulation and learning outcomes; discuss integration, challenges and strategies for simulation in curriculum; explore the state of science related to Interprofessional Education; and investigate evaluation tools for simulation. The workshop will be led by nationally known and respected simulation leaders Sharon Decker, PhD, RN, ANEF, Professor and Director of Clinical Simulations at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and Suzan Kardong-Edgren, PhD, RN, ANEF, Assistant Professor at Washington State University.
