PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This week-long intensive immersion course provides participants with theory and hands-on training with leading-edge simulation skills. Exploring state-of-the-art computerized manikins (Human Patient Simulators, or HPS) software platforms and patient actors, also known as standardized patients or participants (SP).
The curriculum covers a broad spectrum — from design and implementation of simulation scenarios to setting up and running a simulation center. Participants completing the week-long course will earn a Drexel University "Certificate in Simulation."

Testimonials
"This is the most effective and informative conference I have attended. Drexel truly is pulling academia from all over the country into the next generation of innovative teaching in nursing through simulation."
- Jillian Atkinson, New Hartford, NJ
"The experience was invaluable. The opportunity to network with simulation centers around the world, and to receive feedback and to feel the anxiety of the students were things I will never forget."
- Jill Reiter, Vermilion, OH.
"This conference moves in directions with simulation that I had not even dreamed of. I have the tools and follow-up capabilities to bring our simulation program to the next level."
- Linda Visser, Wenatchoe, Washington
"Drexel's simulation course was excellent. It was comprehensive, threading learning theories, debriefing theories, and hands on teamwork throughout to create an effective and engaging HPS scenario and SP case."
- Heather Zerbel, Pinehurst, NC
"Great sharing of resources, information, and experiences with simulation. The entire faculty (from professors, IT staff, and simulation techs) are 100% invested in helping you improve and grow your own simulation programs."
- Shannon Welk, Phila, PA
"Awesome! Very friendly staff! Loved the enthusiasm that staff brought to the conference!"
- Simonne Phelps, Hooksett, NH
"The moulage experience was great! I will be able to use my material in my future simulations!"
- Judy Reeves, Bentonville, AR
"The SP experiences are invaluable and have changed the way I teach and empathize with students."
- Vanessa Johnson, Westonville, OH
"I didn't realize how much I didn't know until I took this Certificate in Simulation program. Not just another class but another experience."
- Michael Greco, New York, NY
"This program provided and intensive, knowledge enriched introduction to the use of simulation in education. I will return to my facility energized with novel ideas for implementation."
- Pamela Vaccari, Paramus, NJ
"It was eye-opening to experience simulations as a student. It will help me to develop future simulations that will more effectively meet objectives."
- Dawn Sgaro, Eaton Twp, OH
"Not only very informative and elucidating to my practice but the team was great without exception. You made all of us feel part of Drexel and it felt like we knew each other for a long time. Very considerate to students' specific needs."
- Anonymous
"We were valued by you and treated like family. Not only did you have knowledge, but gave us tools to help us succeed. The financial piece was especially beneficial since we are building a new sim lab."
- Janis Tollider, Berea, KY
"This program needs to be included in the curriculum for every nurse educator program! A powerful teaching/learning method for pre-licensure nursing students bringing reality into the lab setting."
- Barbara Shelor, Crystal Lake, Illinois
