Abstract
Background: This article describes a peer study program implemented as preparation for taking the Society for Simulation in Healthcare Certification examination.
Methods: During the first 6 weeks participants reviewed articles, developed key points, related the readings to practice, and created practice test questions. Week 7 was a final review session.
Results: Six participants applied for the examination and all successfully passed the examination on the first attempt, being the first Certified Healthcare Simulation Educators in Kansas.
Conclusions: Participants reported improvement in the quality of simulation sessions, creation of a network of simulation educators, and an improvement in test writing skills.
