Competency: The competency framework survey was distributed and completed by the end of May, with a total of 24 participants. After completing the survey, a thorough data analysis was conducted, resulting in two versions of the competency framework: one with lenient inclusion criteria and the other with stricter one. We will be reviewing both to determine the best fit for the program. The competency framework is currently in the process of being finalized.
Curriculum: Data is currently being analyzed from a SIM Expo 2023 Brainstorm Session to identify themes on how to construct the STEPS curriculum (e.g. delivery, structure, learning outcome). Based on the tentative competency framework, an exercise was conducted to categorize and plan out each online learning module for the STEPS curriculum. The tentative learning module structure will be formally assess for acceptability during a later phase of the research.
Implementation: A scoping review is being conducted to determine how individuals in simulation-based health professions education define implementation, and to identify which implementation frameworks, if any, are currently being used in this field. Two workshops with BHSc students are being set up over the summer to teach students about the role of a simulation technician. Focus group interviews will be conducted with workshop attendees to gather their perceptions of STEPS as part of a needs assessment.
Logistics: We are in the process of populating the major program modification form to launch the STEPS program by September 2026. The second advisory board meeting for the STEPS program has been scheduled for July 8, 2025, with preparations for the meeting underway.
