Simulation Facilitation Overview & Techniques
Webinar Overview
This is the second in the sequence of six International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) Standards of Best Practice: Simulation Webinars. The purpose of this Webinar is to provide educators with background information and strategies to facilitate a simulation-based learning experience. The information from this Webinar may be applied to a variety of simulation modalities and educational settings.
NOTE: This Webinar is open to everyone including non-members, communities of interest, practice representatives, and AACN member schools including deans, faculty, staff and students.
Webinar Speakers
Barbara Sittner, PhD, RN
Professor
College of Nursing
Bryan College of Health Sciences
Dr. Sittner is a national leader in the area of simulation education and research. She has over a decade of experience using simulation as a teaching modality. Her major focus in education is to utilize evidence-based practice and standards to design, implement, and evaluate learning outcomes of simulation as a teaching strategy to promote patient safety. Dr. Sittner has developed curriculum and taught in undergraduate BSN programs; Accelerated BSN programs; MSN programs; and an online international Simulation Education Graduate Certificate program. She is well known for her innovative teaching strategies locally, nationally, and internationally and has been a recipient of several teaching awards. Dr. Sittner has made substantial contributions to nursing education in the area of simulation and continues to add to the overall body of knowledge as the profession grows. Her frequently cited manuscripts provide educators and practitioners with a solid foundation to utilize simulation as a teaching strategy to improve participant and patient care outcomes. She was a member of the Clinical Simulation in Nursing journal’s Editorial Board and continues to serve as a peer-reviewer. As a member of International Nursing Simulation for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL), she has served on the program planning committee, abstract presentation reviewer, and the Anthony Battaglia Pocket Nurse Scholarship committee. She has served as Subcommittee Chair for INACSL’s Standards Revision Committee, and in January 2015 she will Chair the INACSL Standard Committee.
Jane Paige, PhD, RN
Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director
School of Nursing
Milwaukee School of Engineering
Dr. Paige is an Associate Professor and Undergraduate Program Director at the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) School of Nursing. She has been a nurse educator for 13 years and has been engaged with use of simulation based learning for the past seven. Dr. Paige received her PhD in 2013 and her research interest focused on the use of simulation based learning, specifically simulation design and perspectives held by nursing students and nurse educators. Dr. Paige’s practice experience includes 25 years in roles that stem from Director of Critical Care, case manager, to staff nurse. Academically, Dr. Paige has taken the lead role in developing and evaluating simulation at MSOE - School of Nursing. Dr. Paige has developed continuing educational programs for Long-term Acute Care hospitals (LTACH) that blended use of classroom, online, and simulated learning activities into a 32-hour, three month program. Tanner’s (2006) Clinical Judgment Model was used to guide the development of the program. Currently Dr. Paige is collaborating with the Medical College of WI on conducting interprofessional educational simulations between nursing and medical students. At an international level, Dr. Paige was one of four members of the International Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Standards of Best Practice Revision for Simulation Subcommittee. This subcommittee reviewed the June 2013 Standards for Best Practice in simulation. Related to this, Dr. Paige conferred with members of SSH for simulation terminology review. Dr. Paige has published on simulation and problem-based learning education as well as Q-methodology as a research approach.
