FOR IN Faculty engaging in simulation activities, which will be used in lieu of clinical hours, must provide evidence of formal education in simulation competencies and debriefing theory. The UNC Charlotte School of Nursing accepts the following, as evidence of initial competency: Completion of the following courses with the National League for Simulation Nursing’s Innovation Resource Center (SIRC): Simulation Pedagogy: What Every Nurse Educator Needs to Know Debriefing Foundations Current CHSE (Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator) OR Completion of an approved Simulation Certificate program Maintenance of competency may be achieved through providing annual evidence of two or more of the following: Completing 3-6 CEUs related to simulation each year Attending a simulation conference such as those sponsored by AHEC, INACSL, NLN or other organization approved by the Associate Director(s) Completing 2 additional SIRC courses beyond basic package which includes: Beyond Basic Debriefing Teaching and Learning Strategies Integrating Concepts Into Simulations Evaluating Simulations Completing 2 simulation related webinars approved by Associate Director(s) Leading a minimum of 2 lunch and learn sessions, on campus, which provide faculty with the latest evidence based and/or best practice approaches to simulation; Participating in a minimum of 2 lunch and learn sessions, held on campus, related to simulation; Presenting at a national or local conference or publishing a manuscript on a topic related to simulation; Maintaining CHSE certification; Upon implementation in the Fall, evidence of initial competency will need to be provided prior to the beginning of the Spring 2018 semester. The Coordinator of Simulation and Interdisciplinary Practice will maintain records of initial competency, as well as documents that support maintenance of faculty’s competency, as outlined in this policy.
