A simulation center’s SP program can be a core educational resource. Initially, our simulation activities took place across many sites within our academic center. The building of our simulation center enabled us to centralize simulation education at our institution. This has allowed us to leverage our experience across an array of educational programs and efficiently implement best practices for case development, SP training, and other operational components of simulation. For instance, we provide educational consultation to faculty who are developing new programs, which includes an SP case template (Appendix E) and other support materials. Doing this ensures that the SPs that work in our center become accustomed to the training format and learning process. Using similar cases across programs whenever possible allows our SPs to become highly calibrated to trainee performance and therefore ensures consistency in case portrayal and assessment rating. All programs that run in our center, with few exceptions, use the same behaviorally anchored communication skills as part of the checklist (Appendix F), which further assures highly calibrated SPs and an opportunity for scholarship across programs and developmental levels.
