Blended Learning Training for Educators
Prepare to deliver simulation excellence
Adverse events can happen at any time, anywhere.
Delivering the right care is essential. Simulation-based training is vitally important to improving the quality of patient care.
Developed as a collaboration between the SAFER Simulation Centre and Laerdal Medical, SimBegin is a blended learning simulation facilitator course that aims to build competence and confidence in planning, conducting, and debriefing a simulation scenario.
Ideally suited for educators and trainers who are new to simulation-based education this course sets out to deliver a practical, digitally enabled solution so organizations can quickly be on their way to implementing quality simulation training.

SimBegin: Level 1
SimBegin requires a class size of six (6) participants. The course utilizes self-directed e-learning and online workshops adaptable to fit any learner’s time schedule. Consisting of three modules, this entry level instruction allows medical, nursing, and paramedical professionals learn the basics of simulation in healthcare and debriefing.
Module 1: E-learning - Simulation Methodology
This module is entirely self-directed and introduces:
- Healthcare Simulation
- Patient Safety
- Circle of Learning
Estimated time: 2-3 hours
