Educating the Educators : Through the Peer-to-Peer Feedback (P2PFB) Exercise

Abstract

Simulation is a series of structured activities that reflect potential situations one may encounter in education, practice, and research. These simulation activities allow students to develop and enhance their knowledge and clinical skills by giving them opportunities to analyze and respond to real-life situations while in a simulated environment (INACSL, 2016). Simulation allows those who participate to have the opportunity to enhance their clinical judgement, critical thinking, problem solving, psychomotor skills, and clinical reasoning skills. This is done by creating high intensity situations that cannot always happen in a typical clinical setting, thus preparing students for more challenging situations that they may face in their nursing profession.
