The Royal College Simulation Educator Training (SET) course was developed to improve medical training capacity in Canada through faculty development and will serve as the foundation for the growth of simulation-based health educator competency across Canada. It includes a spectrum of content designed to advance the skills of both novice and intermediate simulation educators. This online component of the course consists of 5 self-study modules. Authored and peer-reviewed by healthcare experts from various specialties and backgrounds, they present important self-assessment questions, answers, and evidence-based rationale helping you to close best practice knowledge and skill gaps.
Upcoming Courses
The course content is undergoing revision. We plan to offer a revised hybrid course (Online + In person) in early 2023.
