Course Overview
The IASSH Fellowship in Simulation-Based Healthcare Education (FSBHE) is a one-year blended learning programme that prepares medical, nursing and allied health professionals to design, deliver and evaluate simulation-based education. The fellowship combines two face-to-face contact programmes with virtual learning, guided practice, mentoring and reflective portfolio development.
Participants develop practical capabilities in procedural skills teaching, scenario design, facilitation, debriefing, assessment and interprofessional team training. The programme also explores how simulation can support patient safety, quality improvement and educational innovation in participants’ own institutions
