3000.
From 40 countries.
And more every day.
Thank you to everyone who has become certified since 2012—your dedication to healthcare simulation quality is amazing!
Have you considered joining the growing ranks of healthcare simulationists from around the country who have become CHSE®, CHSOS®, CHSE-A®, or CHSOS-A™ certified? Certification is valuable to you and the community because it:
- Improves healthcare simulation education through the identification of best practices and recognition of practice
- Improves healthcare simulation education through providing standardization and a pool of knowledge of best practices
- Strengthens patient safety efforts through support of simulation modalities
- Provides external validation of individual educator knowledge, skills, and attitudes
- Strengthens organizational, community, and learner confidence in the quality of education
- Garners local support, resources, and commitment
- Fosters a feedback loop between education and practice
- Encourages performance improvement and knowledge expansion of the individual educator
- Programs with certified simulation professionals receive a competitive edge in the community, program offerings, and grant funding
- Recognizes expertise in simulation above and beyond domain expertise
Now is the time to become certified—when simulation has become so important to keeping healthcare education going forward and improving patient care and patient safety!
REMOTE PROCTORING
Don’t forget it is easier than ever to become certified with the remote proctoring option. You can test from any computer now, anywhere in the world! Just select this option when choosing your date/time/location to test after you have been approved.
