Continuing professional development enhances simulation-based learning (SBL) facilitators' competence at smaller institutions. A structured approach fostering participation and self-reflection is key to improving skills and confidence in SBL facilitation.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Simulation-Based Learning
- Professional Development
Background:
- Simulation-based learning (SBL) is vital in healthcare education.
- Facilitator competence is crucial for high-quality SBL.
- Smaller institutions often lack resources for facilitator development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the initiation of continuing professional development (CPD) for SBL facilitators at a resource-limited university college.
- To evaluate how CPD contributes to maintaining and developing SBL facilitators' competence.
Main Methods:
- Participatory action research was employed at a Norwegian university college.
- Qualitative content analysis of facilitator reflections and conference participant evaluations was performed.
- 10 facilitators and 44 national simulation conference participants were involved.
Main Results:
- A participatory culture and clear CPD structure are essential for SBL facilitator development.
- These elements enhance transparency, self-awareness, and confidence in facilitation.
- Facilitators reported improved competence and confidence.
Conclusions:
- SBL facilitators at smaller institutions can enhance competence and confidence without experienced mentors.
- Ongoing training, self-reflection, peer feedback, and literature review are important.
- Successful CPD implementation requires structure, clear expectations, and a culture of participation.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
