Ms. Anita M. Swiman earned her Certified Helathcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) credentials today.
Ms. Swiman is a Simulation Training Specialist on the School of Medicine CSPSC team. As a simulationist at UNC, Swiman has played a critical role in the development of medical education curriculum and specifically the Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Curriculum.
The CHSE exam was created by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare in 2012 to meet the need for a “uniform mechanism to educate, evaluate, and certify simulation instructors for the health care profession” (McGaghie, Issenberg, Petrusa, & Scalese, 2010, p. 59). The CHSE credentials were recently recommended in the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) guidelines for simulation in a publication co-authored by UNC’s own Dr. Carol Durham (Alexander M, Durham CF, et al., 2015).
Congratulations Anita!
