Emerging Learning and Integrated Technologies Education (ELITE) through the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing

I recently returned from the University of Pittsburgh’s ELITE training workshop on simulation for nurse educators. This 2 ½ day program was a great experience and one you may want to look into for advancing your own simulation knowledge and skill. The workshop addresses curriculum integration, advances in simulation research and education, and simulation skills for educators in curriculum development and implementation. The last day is very interactive. We wrote a scenario and ran it, practiced debriefing with feedback from expert debriefers, and viewed 3 other groups present their scenarios. It was a small group format and has inspired our own presentation of Simulation Play Day, a one-day event that we hope you will enjoy locally.
