Simulation Program: Menu of Services

Here you will find our menu of services which serves to guide you on how our team can help support you and your project.

Consultation

• Provide recommendations and solutions for the use of healthcare simulation including a variety of modalities as an appropriate tool for specific educational or assessment goals. This includes recommendations for bestpractice application, budgeting, and ideas for education integration.

Event Design

• Determine space, logistics, and technology considerations.

Curriculum Development

• Identify the appropriate use of simulation-based education for a need or gap.
• Develop learning objectives and goals.
• Recommend simulation modalities (method of delivery) to meet educational objectives. The AAP Simulation Program offers various modalities to deliver simulation and clinical skills.
  • Task trainers
  • Manikin-based
  • Virtual Reality
  • Screen-based/mobile device
  • Standardized Patients (hired actors)
• Design a scenario or clinical skills workshop to meet learning objectives.
• Establish course metrics.

Vendor Analysis and/or Recommendations

• Leverage existing partnerships/relationships.
• Assess partners in development of simulation.

Course Facilitation & Coaching

• Support preplanning or course execution
• Support day of facilitation
•  Lead debriefing

Simulation & Clinical Skills Course Support

• Support set-up, technology operations (AV system & recording, manikins programming & operations), and break-down.
• Procure or recommend consumables and medical supplies.

Simulation Lab at Headquarters (Itasca, Illinois)

• The AAP Simulation Lab can be used for video filming, course delivery, clinical skills labs, and other education opportunities that align with simulation-based educational goals.
• Audio and Visual Recording System
  • Capture audio, video, annotations, patient monitors, and simulator data through the AV recording system in the AAP Simulation Lab. Broadcast simulation events from the AAP Simulation Lab to your audience to facilitate distance, or telesimulation.
