How to Train Your Simulation Staff (or yourself) for Free
by Kirrian Steer
There has been, and continues to be considerable debate on simulation forums about the educational and skill requirements for simulation specialists. Formal learning pathways are beginning to emerge but there still remains the challenge of providing the diverse range of skills and knowledge required for simulation specialists. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, Kirrian has researched the training resources available and found that MOOCs (Massive Open OnlineCourses) are a fantastic way of addressing the skill needs of simulation specialists. From only two MOOC platforms, EDX and Coursera, she has collated information about over 50 courses and grouped them into IT, AV, Engineering/Design, Clinical, Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Educational, Management, Marketing, Research/Evaluation, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship categories.
