Clinical Simulation Jobs (NOW HIRING)

• Clinical Simulation Subject Matter Expert
  • Translates and applies advanced bedside clinical experience and nursing process to develop, implement and conduct high fidelity simulation scenarios across the spectrum of all courses and cases taught in the simulation center.
  • Leads as simulation liaison (single point of contact) for all parties on assigned courses in design, implementation, management, evaluation, and re-design of varied and complex simulation activities. Communicates with internal and external leaders, physician faculty, staff, learners, and clients to translate clinical curricula and case scenarios into successful simulation events.
  • Works closely and collaboratively with a wide variety of physician faculty and clinical providers. Assures complex, multi-room live simulations reflect bedside and simulation best practices.
  • Manages simulation clients, courses, scenarios and training events across a broad spectrum of clinical and academic complexity. Most in-patient scenarios are high fidelity and complex. They include physician faculty, bedside interprofessional presence support, and simulation operators for each room and case.
  • Monitors and makes real-time changes to complex events to assure fidelity and consistency with course and case learning objectives. Provides time-sensitive feedback and redirections. Implements changes with all stakeholders including course and simulation faculty, clinical and technical simulation staff, external clients, etc.
  • Applies evidence-based clinical practice and best simulation practices to all aspects of events as the subject matter expert.
• Simulation Clinical Operations Leadership
  • Responsible for all aspects of assigned simulation courses for internal (COM-P) and external (GME and all other) client and student needs.
  • This Lead position has end-to-end responsibility for simulation success and resource use, from planning through implementation.
  • Plans, secures, manages, and directs all required physical and support resources to assure student and client success in a live, simulated hospital environment.
  • Negotiates, schedules and implements physical resources (facilities, equipment, technology, supplies) and assigns all faculty and staff support required before, during and after each event.
  • Assures student assignments, rotations and use of equipment and facilities support course objectives, and clinical simulation best practices.
  • Creates, negotiates, communicates, and implements detailed course plans, role assignments, and schedules that fully support clinical curricula and learning objectives. Recommends changes to departmental staffing, budgets and purchases based on needs of each.
  • Develops and manages detailed tracking and billing documents for simulation events.
  • Analyzes, forecasts, and problem solves equipment, supplies, and staffing needs for each event using ingenuity and innovative solutions.
  • Directs on-site, real time event leadership and coordination on technical and procedural elements during simulation events.
  • Delivers simulation-based clinical education to students, faculty, staff and clients.
• Staff Management and Development
  • Manages, recruits, assigns, on-boards, trains, evaluates, and develops all staff and faculty participating in simulation events.
  • Supervises assigned participants (clinical, faculty, staff, technical, etc.) for all events and special project shifts. May supervise two additional full-time employees.
  • Schedules, pairs, and assigns faculty and staff in each scenario to assure program requirements and student outcomes are optimized.
  • Develops and conducts prebriefing, debriefing, and training sessions for staff and faculty.
  • Provides ongoing staff recruitment, on-boarding for each course, assessment, training, re-assessment, and professional development to calibrate skills with current and emerging clinical and departmental requirements.
• Best Practices
  • Seeks out and complies with adherence to best practices in simulation. Demonstrates subject matter expertise across the College and to clinical and academic communities.
  • Participates on internal and external simulation, clinical and related committees.
  • Instructs simulation-based education to students, faculty, and other college staff members in the curriculum in accordance with LCME requirements and applicable standards.
  • Educates and guides learners in the use of various equipment for simulation and non-simulation events.
  • Pursues professional development opportunities to improve departmental processes.
