Simulation for direct client clinical hours
 

Simulation experiences have been cited as a means to improve students’ abilities to think critically, make appropriate clinical decisions, and communicate effectively with patients, peers, and interprofessional colleagues within a complex healthcare system (Pagano, O’Shea, & McIlowie, 2021). Each academic year the number of available clinical sites is decreasing. We are finding that OB/Peds clinical sites are at a premium. To that end, I would like to request consideration be given to increase the minimum allowable simulation for direct client clinical hours to 50%.
