This practical guide is focused on supporting those who work with older adult simulated participants (SPs). This book addresses a gap in professional development for anyone using simulation as an educational method. It draws on theoretical and experience-based practices in a range of settings. The book includes opportunities for expanded roles for older adult SPs beyond their typical work as ?patients?.
This book will be an invaluable practical resource for educators, academics, and other healthcare providers with different levels of experience, who work in health professions? education especially related to care of older adults. The book includes examples from medicine, nursing and allied health professions as well as interprofessional practices.
This practical guide brings together approaches designed for simulation-based education for the care of older adults. It fills a gap in the training for the care of older adults that working with Simulated Participants (SPs) can help to address. The book provides elements of best practice related to simulation methodology are synthesized with relevant clinical evidence related to caring for older adults.
This book will be an invaluable practical resource for educators, academics, and other health care providers with diverse levels of experience who work in health professions education and simulation training related to care of older adults. It offers support (guidance) to all health professions globally and is particularly pertinent to interprofessional practice. Users will gain the essential ingredients to confidently implement a safe and effective geriatric simulation program with older adult SPs.
