NHET-Sim Program

The National Health Education and Training in Simulation (NHET-Sim) Program: Workshops and e-learning modules available until the end of June 2014. The NHET-Sim Program offers a free training opportunity for any health professional residing in Australia, who currently uses or intends to use healthcare simulation as an educational method with students or health professionals. NHET-Sim provides entry level learning experiences for individuals new to simulation-based education. For those with experience in simulation-based education, NHET-Sim provides an opportunity to reflect on existing and future simulation practice. FLEXIBLE LEARNING OPTIONS: Participants are able to choose two learning options Stream A (e-learning and face-to-face workshops) and Stream B (e-learning). HOW LONG DOES THE NHET-SIM PROGRAM TAKE TO COMPLETE? The e-learning component of the NHET-Sim program takes approximately 12 hours to complete. The workshop component takes approximately 2 days. Workshops are currently taking place in selected venues across Australia. NHET-Sim modules cover: • Educational principles underpinning simulation • Use of mannequins and task trainers • Scenario development • Phases in the simulation cycle • Simulated patient contribution to health professional education • Use of technology in simulation • Virtual environments • Simulation learning environments • Program management *Three new modules will be launched in March 2014. These are debriefing in simulation, developing scenarios and teaching with task trainers.
