KT Waxman, DNP, MBA, RN, CNL, CENP educates and informs the community about the alliance. The purpose of the CSA is to become a cohesive voice for simulation in nursing education across the state, to disseminate information to stakeholders, and to establish a universal entity for simulation.
Gary Hamill, EdD, describes recent research efforts to demonstrate the potential of physiologic self-regulation and imagery training strategies to increase psychomotor capacity and improve performance. Performing a medical procedure requires a tremendous amount of psychomotor capacity - your head, hands, and the team with whom you are working have to...
Since its inception more than a century ago, modern medical education has undergone a series of quiet revolutions, stretching and scaling to accommodate advances in biomedical science. Yet this comprehensive expansion in one critical area masks a relative neglect of another. Despite their staggering scope – spanning genetics to geriatrics...
Allen J. Giannakopoulos, PhD describes how simulation shows the most promise in improving our business as we move into the next zone of reality. In much of the present day model of health care our role as management has us looking to new ideas and processes in order to move...

Carla Pugh, MD, addresses lingering questions regarding which type of simulation and assessment venue best meets specific learning objectives. Use of simulation-based assessments has continued to evolve. In the early iterations, mannequin-based trainers were used for classroom and group based training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for basic and advanced cardiac life...
