Preparing to write an external simulation certification exam?
Join us on Monday, October 19th from 12:00PM to 4:00PM (EDT) for our Simulation Credential Preparation Workshop! This practical and engaging 4 hour-live online workshop led by Elizabeth Horsley, RN, MSMS, CHSE, CCSNE, is designed to increase the confidence and readiness of simulation educators preparing to write external simulation certification examinations.
This workshop aligns with the blueprint for The Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator® (CHSE®) examination offered through the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), and is suitable for the preparation of external simulation certification examinations. In addition to the interactive synchronous session, participants will receive access to curated study resources and personalized one-on-one coaching from Elizabeth to support their exam preparation. Ongoing guidance and mentorship will be available beyond the scheduled workshop to help participants build confidence and achieve success on their certification exam. While this workshop is designed as a live, interactive 4-hour experience, a recording will be provided to participants unable to attend under special circumstances. Please contact us at [email protected] before registering to learn more.

Elizabeth Horsley
RN, MSMS, CHSE, CCSNE
Elizabeth is a very proud transplanted Canadian and former hockey mom. She is a graduate of Queen’s University (Arts ’89) and McMaster University (BScN ’93). She began her healthcare career as an Operating Room Nurse then transitioned to nursing education in 2003. In 2005 she was the lead on overseeing a half-million dollar grant from the province of Ontario to develop and implement a clinical simulation program in an undergraduate nursing program. In April of 2017 she was recruited to the position of Director of Simulation at The Brooklyn Hospital Center. She has transformed a forgotten simulation lab and random pieces of equipment in to a robust and thriving space in a community hospital. Her role runs the gamut from implementing deliberate practice modules for residents and medical students to incorporating simulation in staff education to enhance the patient experience to developing simulation activities for nursing education.
Elizabeth has pursued many advanced training opportunities in simulation including the Comprehensive Simulation Instructor Workshop at the Center for Medical Simulation at Harvard (2015), The Mastery Learning Course at Northwestern University (2017) and The Master Debriefer Course from The Debriefing Academy (2020). In 2016 she was in the first graduating class from the Master of Science in Medical and Healthcare Simulation at Drexel University. She is a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) and facilitates on-line and in-person readiness review courses for this designation. She is served two terms as Vice-Chair of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Hospital-Based Section. Elizabeth was a member of the writing teams for two of the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice – Prebriefing and Simulation Design.
