Online Graduate Certificate in Health Care Simulation

Health care simulation involves using simulated participants and environments to replicate real patient encounters. This certificate prepares you to craft, implement and evaluate simulation-based learning strategies. You’ll also gain insight into the role simulation technologies play in helping practitioners hone their skills safely. Your courses will focus on various facets of health care simulation education, such as:

• Evidence-based scenario design and development.
• Debriefing techniques.
• Operations of health care simulation.
• Participant assessment.

Additionally, you’ll build professional competencies in communication, critical thinking and patient safety. As a graduate, you can seek simulation-related leadership roles in hospitals, universities, simulation centers and more.

Complement your health care bachelor’s with a graduate certificate

This certificate is ideal for those passionate about technology and who want to gain specialized skills in health care simulation education. Successful candidates will have a background in education, health care, simulation or a combination of these areas.

Additionally, this program is a good fit for those who want advanced simulation knowledge without pursuing a full master’s program. Many fields incorporate simulation, such as nursing, medicine, social work, nutrition, genetics counseling, veterinary education, pharmacy and more. With a graduate certificate in health care simulation, you’ll have a leg up when applying for roles centered around building these experiences. If you do want to pursue a graduate degree, ASU’s Master of Science in health care simulation online is an ideal choice.
