Research and Development

Competency Framework

The STEPS program is grounded in a carefully co-designed competency framework that defines the knowledge, skills, and professional behaviors required for Simulation Operations Specialists (SOS). This framework ensures that non-clinical learners are prepared to support simulation in healthcare education and practice.

Professional Activities Framework

The Professional Activities Framework translates competencies into authentic, observable tasks that learners perform in real or simulated practice, making competency development visible and measurable. Rather than assessing isolated knowledge or skills, the framework evaluates a learner's ability to integrate multiple competencies while completing meaningful professional activities. By providing a structured pathway for progressive development, feedback, and increasing independence, the framework bridges the gap between competency-based education and workplace readiness.
