The Role of Simulation
A teaching strategy
An evaluation tool
NCSBN Supports
the inclusion of innovative teaching strategies that complement clinical experiences for entry
into practice competency.
Rationale
Types Of Simulation
Screen-based/PC-based simulation
Virtual patients
Standardized patients
Integrated models
The higher the realism, the more effective it is in engaging the student
Strengths
