ELITE Simulation Workshop Dec 1 & 2, 2011 (Pittsburgh, PA)

Here is a great opportunity to enhance your skills in simulation. This 2 day ELITE workshop, Dec 1 and 2, earns 15.75 CEUs. Presenters are experienced and expert simulation educators, some of whom have published on the topic. It includes interactive practice and feedback. I attended this workshop and found it very helpful, informative, and motivating. I highly recommend it whether you are just starting or are fairly experienced.
