The Healthcare Simulation Educator (HSE), supporting The PIH Health Simulation Lab, is responsible for enhancing professional practice and quality patient care by providing evidence-based simulation learning to promote inter-professional competency of clinical and non-clinical staff across the PIH Health System. The HSE collaborates simulation learning activities with their multidisciplinary partners by development, coordination, management, facilitation, implementation and evaluation of simulation-based education programs. The HSE must demonstrate expertise in competency assessment and evaluation of simulation modalities to address practice gaps for identified target audiences. This includes critical thinking, clinical decision making, evidence-based practice, and professionalism. The HSE partners with faculty, educators and staff with preparing for and conducting simulation-based learning experiences while promoting the awareness and effectiveness of simulation-based education at PIH Health System.
