How can we measure the effectiveness of simulation training?

Measuring effectiveness can involve assessing knowledge retention, skill application, and participant feedback. What specific area are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in knowledge retention.

For knowledge retention, you can use pre- and post-training assessments to evaluate what participants have learned. Would you like to know more about designing these assessments?

Yes, what should I include in those assessments?

Include questions that cover key concepts, practical applications, and scenarios that participants might face. It's also helpful to incorporate different question formats.

That sounds great! How often should I conduct these assessments?

It's best to conduct assessments immediately after training and then again after a few weeks to measure retention over time.
