This accreditation programme is based on the experience and expertise of the international multidisciplinary and inter-professional community of practice. It takes into account the broad variety of simulation modalities and the context of their usage.
The term Educational Institution (hereafter “Institution”) incorporates all facilities that provide educational sessions and exercise events for healthcare providers from all disciplines and professions. These can be simulation centres with dedicated space, mobile units that function completely ‘out of the box’, mannequin-based facilities, or departments relying on standardised patient (SP) methodology.
By seeking accreditation, an institution can demonstrate its quality as having been judged and validated by an independent body, internationally recognised as an opinion leader in the domain of simulation-based education in healthcare.
The use of the “Accredited by SESAM” logo is a quality marker which allows the institution to stand out and further underline its high-quality standards.
