ORLANDO – A variety of simulation training courses at the VHA SimLEARN National Simulation Center (NSC) are now available. These courses include:
Introduction to Clinical Simulation Instructor
This face-to-face training is to address the gap in qualified clinicians who can facilitate health care training using simulation. This course combines didactic, small group and hands-on simulation activities so participants can develop the skills necessary to design, develop, implement and debrief simulation-based health care training in their work centers. After the training is completed, faculty members will participate in scheduled monthly SimLEARN Community of Practice conference calls in order to assist them with implementation of simulation into the health care training programs at their facilities.
The available dates for this two-day course are May 15, June 12, July 10, Aug. 7 and Sept. 11.

Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) Training
The purpose of this face-to-face simulation training is to address the gap in qualified clinicians who can facilitate fundamental critical support health care using simulation. This course introduces principles important in the initial care of critically ill/injured patients to physicians, physicians-in-training, nurses and other health care providers who may or may not be skilled in critical care, but who must care for such patients during early stabilization and in anticipation of the arrival of an intensivist, specialist or pending transfer of a patient to a tertiary center.
The available dates for this two-and-a-half day course are May 8, June 5, July 17 and 31, and Aug. 14.

Simulations for Clinical Excellence in Nursing Services (SCENS)
SCENS provides common scenarios in a fully immersive nursing simulation in realistic health care settings to enhance nursing knowledge. Learners will experience synergistic collective learning in a facilitated and safe environment to identify errors and mark successes. At the completion of training, the students will return with 23 scenarios for use at their home facility.
The available dates for this four-day course are May 21, June 18, July 23, and Aug. 13 and 27.
Trauma Nursing Core Course (TNCC)
The Purpose of Trauma Nursing Core Course is to teach Registered Nurses core level knowledge and psychomotor skills, which are defined as central or key elements of the multidimensional processes involved in the initial assessment and management of sick or injured patients. TNCC also provides a foundation for integrated communication and collaboration in identifying and treating the sick or injured.
The available dates for this two-and-a-half-day course are June 12, July 10, Aug. 7 and Sept. 11.
