The successful candidate must demonstrate experience, skills, and commitment to fostering an environment of belonging, diversity, equity and inclusion in students, faculty and staff.

POSITION SUMMARY: The Part-Time Healthcare Simulation Educator is directly responsible for developing and implementing simulation experiences across the human life span. Simulation experiences are to reflect both discipline specific learning outcomes as well as multidisciplinary learning outcomes for all of the health programs. The Part-Time Healthcare Simulation Educator demonstrates an understanding of care aspects that transition from critical care to acute care to long-term care in nursing and other health disciplines.

The Part-Time Healthcare Simulation Educator is responsible for operating all simulation equipment in the Clinical Simulation Lab, assuring accreditation standards are met related to simulation for nursing and other health areas, and collaborate with the monitoring of the coordination and scheduling of simulation and skill lab rooms. The Part-Time Healthcare Simulation Educator carries out structured learning sessions on selected topics requested by faculty as a supplement to classroom instruction, and provides tutoring on identified topic areas.

This role requires flexibility in scheduling and requires evening and weekend coverage.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING:

• Prepares and administers meaningful learning experiences, to multiple disciplines, by incorporating the use of simulation experiences (low, medium and high-fidelity) to augment student experiences that incorporate theory and clinical practice into their learning.
• Assures that high-fidelity equipment is functioning properly and makes the necessary referrals to assure equipment is maintained (maintenance and upgrades) to prolong useful equipment life expectancy.
• Maintains and updates case scenarios to assure currency in practice.
• Provides structured learning sessions, in collaboration with faculty, to meet the learning needs of students especially in areas that will help facilitate student competency and success.
