WISER is pleased to announce the creation of the Simulation Operations Specialist Career ladder.
Over the past year, WISER leadership has been working on the development of a career ladder that focuses on the advancement of the Simulation Operations Specialist. Simulation Specialists who want to advance their career through higher education, project management, and mentorship of others, may now qualify for promotion to the level of Simulation Specialist 2.
This promotion requires a Simulation Specialist 1 to achieve CHSOS from the SSH. The Certified Healthcare Simulation Operations Specialist® (CHSOS®) certification has been developed as a service to the healthcare simulation community. The CHSOS® certification is intended for individuals who perform healthcare simulation in the operations specialist role including: simulation modality, setting (locations where simulation takes place), geographic location, learner population, function (e.g. IT, A/V, moulage).
The SSH Dictionary defines an Operations Specialist as an individual whose primary role is the implementation and delivery of a simulation activity through the application of simulation technologies such as, computers, audio-visual, or networking technologies.
We are pleased to announce that all WISER Simulation Specialists who qualify for this promotion have achieved it.
