Supporting Simulation With Training: A Study Of Faculty Perspectives, Joseph Patrick Sweeney
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Using simulation in healthcare education allows students to engage in authentic tasks, and in turn, develop the many skills they need in order to be successful healthcare practitioners. While simulation is not a new concept, advancements in Human Patient Simulators (HPSs) have furthered the possibilities available for the simulation experience, and the use of HPSs continues to grow. Professional development is an important support for undergraduate …
