The practitioner will work through an online simulated trauma patient in this course. Within the sim, they will be faced with a decision point to select the correct course of action. The correct selection will lead them through the sim; the incorrect selection will loop them back to the decision point with an explanation of why it may not be the best choice. Throughout this course, there are formative evaluations (decision points), videos, and interactions with the “host” to guide the practitioner through the sim to the final summative evaluation.

How the sim/case study works
This course comprises two simulation/case studies for you to engage with. Following each simulation, there is a video debrief, along with a webpages encompassing all educational components from the simulation in case you missed any. Additionally, there are activities and knowledge checks to solidify your understanding of the material covered in the simulation.
Towards the conclusion of each simulation, there is a final assessment, requiring a minimum score of 80% for successful completion. Upon successfully finishing both the simulation and the final assessment, you will be granted a certificate.
Instructions and Length
The Sims are designed to go through more than once. Ideally, it would help if you did each sim four times.
- The first time, try to make all the best choices to get to the sim’s end.
- The second time, go through and try to find all the educational moments
- Go through the sim, and don’t be afraid to explore all the choices.
- Go through the sim as fast as you can
- Go through the e-book and complete all knowledge checks/activities.
- Total course time up to 3 hours if all education components are completed.
Total course time up to 3 hours if all education components are completed.
