ASSET Simulation Faculty Development Program

The ASSET (Addressing Shortages of Simulation Educators in Texas) program is a 3-day immersive simulation faculty development program for nursing faculty and graduate nursing education students interested in honing simulation educator expertise.

The program is designed with a "train the trainer" model so that attendees can apply program learning by teaching others to facilitate simulated learning experiences using simulation best practices.
