This four-hour, in-person, multidisciplinary, interactive workshop is an introduction to procedural simulation in healthcare. Built on sound theoretical foundations of psychomotor skills development, standards of practice, and research, this workshop will prepare participants to plan, design, implement, assess, and provide effective feedback for procedural skills using simulation.

Enrollment is limited to smaller groups to encourage maximum engagement of all attendees.

Upcoming dates

• April 15, 2025, from 1-5 p.m. (Rochester, Minnesota)
