Finding Your Way With The INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation - A Guide for the Novice

As you get to know the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation℠, we recommend focusing on three Standards that have particular importance to the novice simulation educator.

Open the Standards tab and begin with Professional Integrity, followed by Facilitation, and then Debriefing. Click on the Standards tab in the upper right corner to get started!

Novice Simulation Facilitators

Use the Finding Your Way Guide℠ to:

• Orient yourself to key features of the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation℠ and learn how you can apply them to your simulation facilitation.
• Integrate the Standards most essential to novice simulation facilitation.
• Enhance your effectiveness with simulation facilitation and track your professional development.

Expert Simulation Facilitators

Use the Finding Your Way Guide℠ to:

• Mentor novice simulation facilitators on your team.
• Support your own team's efforts to effectively implement the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation℠
• Enhance your effectiveness with simulation facilitation and track your professional development.

Please Note: INACSL does not suggest that one Standard is more important than another, nor that one MUST implement the Standards of Best Practice: Simulation℠ in a particular order (Sittner, 2016). Based on a review of literature, the application of Benner's Novice to Expert framework, and experience implementing best-practice simulation, the Finding Your Way Guide and Roadmap were created with recommended jumping-off points.
