Abstract
Simulation educator onboarding and longitudinal professional development is a challenge for most healthcare simulation programmes. The Simulation Educator Needs Assessment Tool (SENAT) was created for self-assessing individuals’ knowledge and perceived competency in simulation-based education. Messick’s unified validity framework was used as a validity framework. First, this tool underwent two rounds of content validity studies following the Lawshe’s method. Participants at both rounds ( The final SENAT contained 29 items with a satisfactory content validity index for each item (>0.455). Two subscales were found with good to excellent reliability: Self-assessment of Learning Needs ( The SENAT can impact simulation quality by providing a professional development roadmap for individuals, as well as provide data needed to develop mentoring conversations. Aggregate data from groups of educators can support planning for programmatic professional development.
