The purpose of this article was to describe an international partnership to establish and study simulation in India. A pilot study was performed to determine interrater reliability among faculty new to simulation when evaluating nursing student competency performance. Interrater reliability was below the ideal agreement level. Findings in this study underscore the need to obtain baseline interr...

The simulation of realistic networks is an important aspect in the development of new protocols or algorithms. We have considered – to the author’s knowledge for the first time – the problem of calibrating the total number and the allocation of HTTP traffic sources in a simulation model of a TCP/IP network with a target matrix of traffic flow intensities. The configuration of a large simulation...

UNLABELLED Although increasingly used as a modality in medical education, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) remains somewhat overlooked in the training of public health students (Pham & Blumberg, 2000). This project involved a pilot test of a web-based community simulation as a PBL platform in an undergraduate health behavior course. PURPOSE To develop and pilot test a web-based computer simulatio...

The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice provides a framework for building the baccalaureate education for the twenty-first century. One of the exemplars included in the essentials toolkit includes student participation in an actual root cause analysis (RCA) or failure mode effects analysis. To align with this exemplar, faculty at the University of Michigan Sc...
