- simulation modality
- setting (locations where simulation takes place)
- geographic location
- learner population
- function (e.g. teaching, assessment)
- profession

CHSE® DEVELOPMENT
Consistent with its mission, SSH developed the certification process for educators focused on healthcare simulation. This program has been developed over a number of years with the input of many individuals representing a wide variety of backgrounds and experience in healthcare simulation. Individuals from the international healthcare simulation community including other simulation societies contributed to the success of CHSE® Certification. SSH thanks everyone who has participated in the development of CHSE® Certification.
