Abstract

This practical guide brings together approaches designed for simulation-based education for the care of older adults. It fills a gap in the training for the care of older adults that working with Simulated Participants (SPs) can help to address. The book provides elements of best practice related to simulation methodology are synthesized with relevant clinical evidence related to caring for older adults.

This book will be an invaluable practical resource for educators, academics, and other healthcare providers with diverse levels of experience who work in health professions education and simulation training related to the care of older adults. It offers support (guidance) to all health professions globally and is particularly pertinent to interprofessional practice. Users will gain the essential ingredients to confidently implement a safe and effective geriatric simulation program with older adult SPs.
