Enhancing Competency-Based Education and Assessment with Video Simulations
Webinar Details
Dr. Laurie Kennedy-Malone highlights a year-long project funded by AACN’s Faculty Scholar Grant Program at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro (UNCG). During this project, five new clinical simulations, with faculty guides, were developed with the goal of designing competency-based video simulations that facilitate formative assessment of nurse practitioner students’ clinical decision-making skills. The simulations come with a guide, written by UNCG nurse practitioners, which lists the specific Essentials domains and concepts for advanced-level nursing education sub-competencies, used to enhance the student learning experience.
Objectives:
- Describe the process of developing clinical video simulations and faculty guides developed for nurse practitioner curriculum
- Summarize the process used to validate the AACN Advanced Essentials with the clinical video simulations/faculty guides
- Discuss the use of clinical video simulations in nurse practitioner curriculum
