A simulation scenario is a representation of real-life events to achieve specific goals and can be applicable to many NCCHC standards/compliance indicators. Simulations are designed to assess, educate, and identify gaps in the understanding and/or application of knowledge. Education and competency can be achieved with "real-life? situations and experiences in a controlled environment. This session will provide key factors in designing simulation scenarios, goals to achieve, and evaluation of results.

• Differentiate between types of learning scenarios
• Identify the educational benefits of simulated scenarios
• Describe the elements of a comprehensive simulated scenario
