Abstract:
Practical training for nursing professional development specialists in the facilitation of clinical simulations was implemented using a six-step curriculum development framework. General and targeted needs assessments were conducted. Methods used to apply needs assessment findings into the course design and delivery and the participant's responses via program evaluations are described. The process used to develop this training may be applied by other nursing professional development departments to prepare educators in the delivery of simulated-based learning experiences.
