About Course

Think CHSE: A Strategic Path to Certification is not a crash course—it’s your strategic guide to mastering the CHSE exam with confidence and clarity. Designed by expert simulationists at SimHubs, this course shifts your focus from memorizing content to thinking like a certified healthcare simulation educator.

Rather than drilling facts, we help you decode the mindset behind CHSE questions, align your thinking with best practices, and develop the critical reasoning skills the exam truly measures. You’ll explore real-world simulation scenarios, break down how questions are structured, and learn how to approach answers like a professional—not a test taker.

Whether you’re just beginning your CHSE journey or you’ve attempted the exam before, this course gives you the mental framework, test logic, and reflective strategies needed to succeed, not just pass.

🔹 This course is for those who want to:

  • Understand the “why” behind each question

  • Avoid common traps and overthinking

  • Build confidence through educator-driven reasoning

  • Strengthen their identity as a true simulation professional

Your simulation knowledge is valuable. Let’s help you think—and test—like it.

Course Content

📘 Chapter 1: Understanding the CHSE Exam – Purpose, Blueprint, and Experience Criteria
The Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) credential, offered by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), is one of the most respected certifications in healthcare simulation. It is designed for professionals who are actively involved in simulation-based education, and who demonstrate applied knowledge in simulation principles, methodologies, and facilitation.

  • 1.1 Purpose of CHSE Certification
  • 1.2 The CHSE Blueprint
  • 1.3 The “Two Years” Experience Requirement

📘 Chapter 2: Who Is the Simulation Educator?
Before preparing for the CHSE exam, one must be able to clearly define their role in simulation. One of the most critical reasons candidates fail the CHSE application or exam is due to a misalignment between their actual responsibilities and the role of a simulation educator.

📘 Chapter 4: The SimHubs Roadmap to CHSE Preparation
Preparing for CHSE is not about cramming. It’s about growing as a simulation professional. At SimHubs, we’ve built a flexible, realistic roadmap to help you succeed—whether you’re just entering the field or you're a seasoned practitioner seeking validation.

📘 Chapter 3: Practice Questions – Sharpening Your CHSE Thinking
This chapter is your opportunity to apply what you’ve learned and begin thinking like a true simulation educator. You will find a curated set of practice multiple-choice questions modeled after the CHSE exam blueprint. These questions are not just for testing knowledge—they are designed to assess how well you can analyze scenarios, interpret educator responsibilities, and align your decisions with simulation-based education best practices. At SimHubs, we believe in meaningful learning—not just memorization. That’s why we won’t provide answer keys here. Instead, we’ll discuss your responses in a personal one-to-one feedback session. This format helps you: Reflect on your reasoning behind each choice Identify patterns in how you approach simulation-based decisions Build your confidence for the real exam through guided insight.
