NHET-SIM

The NHET-Sim Programme is designed for individuals from all professions across Australia who currently or intend to use healthcare simulation as an educational method with students or health professionals.

NHET-Sim is comprised of thirteen modules with e-learning and workshops.

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 practices.

The NHET-Sim Programme consists of ~33 hours of learning activities over three months.

Learning Objectives:
There are over 60 learning objectives across the thirteen modules. Thebreadth of topics is a feature of the NHET-Sim programme. After completing the core modules, participants would be expected to be able to:

• Define key terms used in simulation-based education (SBE) (e.g. simulation,immersion, realism, safety, engagement etc)
• Discuss drivers for SBE
• Describe various types of simulation modalities
• Explain key components of SBE (e.g. scenario development, briefing for learning, feedback strategies, support mechanisms for participants, evaluation)
• Debate the benefits of teaching and learning with simulation
• Debate the limitations of teaching and learning with simulation Access publicly available resources on SBE
• Outline theories that inform SBE
• Outline the responsibilities of a simulation educator
• Review and demonstrate the preparation phase of the simulation cycle
• Review and demonstrate the briefing phase of the simulation cycle Review and demonstrate the debriefing and feedback phase of the simulation cycle
