Simulation Innovation Resource Center (SIRC)
The NLN Simulation Innovation Resource Center is a collaborative alliance between the NLN and Laerdal Medical. The purpose is to develop a community of nurse educators who can effectively use simulation to promote and evaluate student learning and who
dialogue with one another to advance simulation in nursing education. NLN Simulation Innovation Resource Center courses are an online e-learning solution for simulation faculty and staff development. SIRC courses are designed for faculty and staff
development, and include topics covering everything from the basics of integrating and debriefing simulations, to conducting evaluation and research. Continuing Education credits are offered for each course.
SIRC Foundation Courses
Designed as a virtual, asynchronous experience to build a foundation of simulation best practices.
- Foundations: Laying the Groundwork for Teaching with Simulation
- Modalities: Exploring Simulation Features
- Curriculum: Understanding the Curriculum Map for Thoughtful Simulation Integration
- Evaluation and Assessment: Examining Learner, Facilitator, and Program Outcomes
- Prebriefing and Debriefing: Facilitating the Learning Experience
- Facilitator: Exploring Roles in Simulation Delivery
- Interprofessional Education: Leveraging Simulation Strategies for Team Development
As nursing education continues to evolve, we continue to meet the challenges learners face in developing critical thinking skills and translating them into action, within the context of patient care through simulation-based education.
