While confronting many challenges related to changes in health care,
higher education, and clinical practice, nurse educators are exploring
new opportunities for innovative teaching/learning methods, new
clinical models, and educational practices to provide high-quality
education to promote optimal, quality patient care. Clinical simulations
can provide health care educators with one approach to create student-
centered, experiential environments that engage and prepare the
learner for real-world practice.
Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts,
Trends, and Opportunities
provides chapters authored by expert
simulation researchers, educators, and users to shed light on important
advancements and emerging topics in clinical simulation.
Features
• Enhanced interprofessional education and practice through
simulation.
• Meaningful debriefing.
• Expansion of clinical simulation globally.
• Development of a good business plan and consideration of the
economic model of a simulation center.
• Research and evaluation of clinical simulation.
• High-stakes simulation.
• Certification of educators and accreditation of simulation centers.
