Review manual for the Certified Healthcare Simulation EducatorTM (CHSETM) exam

__The authors of this review manual have captured all of the elements of simulation from establishing the objectives of simulated learning experiences, to constructing scenarios, to debriefing students and the simulation team, to assessing and evaluating the learning that has accrued. They have also described the range of simulation options and the contexts for their most effective use.__ ;**Gloria F. Donnelly,** PhD, RN, FAAN, FCPP, Dean and Professor College of Nursing and Health Professions, Drexel University Health professionals embarking on a career teaching simulation are embracing a world of innovation in which both teacher and student can develop their healthcare skills more rapidly and promote better patient outcomes. This is the first practice manual to assist healthcare simulation educators in the United States and internationally in preparing for certification in this rapidly emerging field. The authors, noted experts in simulation and education, have carefully analyzed the CHSE blueprint to ascertain what material is most likely to be covered. They present this information in a user-friendly, pithy outline format. This review manual provides numerous features that help students to critically analyze test content, including end-of-chapter review questions, test-taking strategies, and a comprehensive practice test with answers and rationales. It features current evidence-based teaching practices and incorporates case studies to connect simulation situations to simulation education with healthcare students and includes information about advanced certification and recertification. **KEY FEATURES:** * Comprises the first review book for the CHSE exam * Follows the CHSE test blueprint * Fosters optimal learning and retention through use of a pithy outline format * Provides Teaching Tips feature for best simulation practice * Includes Evidence-Based Simulation Practice boxes that focus on current research * Incorporates case studies, 230+ test questions, end-of-chapter practice questions, and test-taking strategies The Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator and CHSE marks are trademarks of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.

Wittmann-Price and Linda Wilson Since the Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator competency was first established in June 2012, over 350 applicants from 13 countries have applied to become a CHSE, and nearly two thirds of them have completed the process and passed the certification exam. This book, the first review manual for the healthcare simulation educator certification exam, will be a valuable resource for aspiring educators in this rapidly emerging field. Certification for the CHSE exam applies to all healthcare disciplines in the U.S. and internationally. The Review covers all topics included on the exam and closely mirrors the CHSE blueprint to familiarize students with the exam. It includes end-of-chapter review questions, test-taking techniques, and over 200 test questions dispersed throughout the book.. Information is presented in pithy outline format interspersed with small sections of narrative for optimal learning and retention. The Review features current evidence-based teaching practices and incorporates case studies to connect simulation "situations" to simulation education with healthcare students. Key features: Comprises the first review book for the CHSE exam; Follows the CHSE test blueprint; Facilitates easy review with pithy outline format integrated with small sections of narrative; Provides Teaching Tip feature for best simulation practice; Includes case studies, 200+ test questions, end-of-chapter review questions, and test-taking techniques. - Publisher.
