Biography:
Elizabeth began her career as an Operating Room Nurse over 30 years ago, then transitioned to Nursing Education in 2003. In 2005 she was the lead on overseeing a half-million dollar grant from the province of Ontario to develop and implement a clinical simulation program in an undergraduate nursing program. In April of 2017 she was recruited to the position of Director of Simulation at The Brooklyn Hospital Center in Brooklyn in New York. She transformed a forgotten simulation lab and random pieces of equipment into a robust and thriving space in a community hospital. Her role ran the gamut from implementing deliberate practice modules for residents and medical students to incorporating simulation into staff education to enhance the patient experience to developing simulation activities for nursing orientation.
Elizabeth has pursued many advanced training opportunities in simulation including the Comprehensive Simulation Instructor Workshop at the Center for Medical Simulation at Harvard, The Mastery Learning course at Northwestern University and The Master Debriefing course from The Debriefing Academy. She was in the first graduating class from the Master of Science in Medical and Healthcare Simulation at Drexel University. She is a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) and facilitates on-line and in-person readiness review courses for this designation. Elizabeth was a member of the writing teams for two of the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice - Prebriefing and Simulation Design.
Elizabeth left Brooklyn in the fall of 2023 and returned home to Vineland Ontario.
She is a self-admitted hoarder of simulation resources and her passion is helping novices learn best practices for developing and implementing their own simulation programs. She is always willing to share and collaborate!
