“The authors of this review manual have captured all of the elements of simulation from
establishing the objectivesof simulated learning experiences, to constructing scenarios,
to debriefing students and the simulation team, to assessing and evaluating the learning
that has accrued. They have also described the range of simulation options and Review

health professionals embarking on a career teaching simulation are embracing a world
of innovation in which both teacher and student can develop their healthcare skills
more rapidly and promote better patient outcomes. This is the first practice manual to
assist healthcare simulation educators in the United States and internationally in
preparing for certification in this rapidly emerging field. The authors, noted experts in
simulation and education, have carefully tion Educa
analyzed the CHSE blueprint to ascertain what material is most likely to be covered.

This review manual provides numerous features that help students to critically analyze
test content, including end-of-chapter review questions, test-taking strategies, and a
comprehensive practice test with answers and R
rationales. It features current evidence-based teaching practices and incorporates case
studies to connect the
simulation “situations” to simulation education with healthcare students and includes
information about advanced certification and recertification.
