CHSE-A, awarded October 2024

Dr. Jocelyn Ludlow is Director of Simulation and an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California Irvine Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing. In 2021, she received her PhD in nursing from Washington State University where she studied the prebriefing practices of prelicensure nursing programs in the United States. Her expertise has influenced simulation at the national level as a member of the prebriefing and simulation design INACSL Healthcare Standards of Best Practice subcommittees. She has presented at the local and national level at simulation, nursing science, and nursing education conferences on a variety of topics including prebriefing in simulation, in situ simulation programs, and innovations in nurse education. She has been a registered nurse since 2000 and has practiced in a variety of settings with a focus on cardiac and telemetry nursing. She has been a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) and a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) since 2016, and a certified medical-surgical nurse (CMSRN) since 2017. She is also been trained in FEMA Incident Command System, AVADE and CPI De-Escalation, and Quality Matters.
In October 2024, she was awarded the prestigious Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator-Advanced credential. This elite international certification from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, is awarded to professionals recognized for their significant contributions to the field and performance as an educator. Unique in its approach, the CHSE-A requires candidates to compile a detailed portfolio, highlighting their leadership, mentorship, self-reflection, ongoing professional development and active engagement with the global healthcare simulation community beyond their routine job responsibilities. Submissions are thoroughly evaluated according to a stringent peer-review process in accordance with established professional standards.

Her research interests include simulation prebriefing methods, healthcare education and simulation, and applying teaching learning theory to simulation, along with best practices in teaching and learning and curriculum design.
