Description
Summary:This paper provides an overview of a collaborative model with which to equip educators with the tools to apply and embed simulated person (SP) methodology in their teaching. Our aim is to expand opportunities to foster student success through simulation by embedding the training of simulators and faculty within undergraduate education. The development of this model supports the application of SP methodology within higher education and involves a) developing an applied elective course for undergraduate theatre students that will provide them with the opportunity to learn simulation methodology and to develop skills that will prepare them to work in the field of simulation as SPs, b) delivering workshops to educate faculty to work with and effectively utilize SPs as a pedagogical approach for teaching undergraduate students, and c) using fundamental principles of experiential learning to provide educators, SPs, and students with opportunities to work collaboratively across disciplines.
