The SyncSim Advantage for Educators
SyncSim clinical events are not only valuable for students. They provide important advantages to educational institutions in the areas of clinical capacity, NCLEX readiness, human resources, formative student assessment, operational efficiency, and clinical costs.
Clinical Capacity
We've spoken to hundreds of leaders in the nursing and allied health training sector, and the majority of them identify decreased clinical capacity as the #1 barrier to program growth and strong academic outcomes.
Nursing shortages and limited availability of qualified clinical instructors combined with post-pandemic clinical site changes are compounding an already stressed educational system that is desperately trying to increase enrollments and provide access to vital nursing programs.

Human Resources
Sourcing, hiring, and onboarding qualified clinical instructors is becoming increasingly difficult and time-consuming. At SyncSim, we handle all of this, so our clients don't have to.
We partner with WorkMarket, an HR solution that provides a consistent process for credentialing, onboarding, and training our applicants.
Instructors receive initial and ongoing training in the areas of distance-education, simulation, and instructional practices focused on nurse competencies and the adult learner.
You can view some of our clinical instructors at the link below, and instructor profiles are always available upon request. ​
Operational Efficiency
Much of our web site is focused on the academic benefits of high-quality, high-fidelity clinical simulation experiences.
As noted on this page however, the academic advantages SyncSim Virtual Simulation Center provides are only a portion of what we offer our clients.
With just a few clicks, clinical capacity and operational efficiency are dramatically improved. What would normally consume weeks or months to organize and manage can now be handled in a matter of minutes.
Whether it is a complete curriculum plan integrating dozens of events into the RN experience up front, searching for specific experiences to align with a particular course, finding clinical make-up experiences, or replacing clinical time that has been cancelled or changed, we've got you.

NCLEX Readiness
Each SyncSim event provides multi-patient experiences which are leveled across the RN curriculum and focus on learning objectives that are already mapped to national standards for you, simplifying the accreditation report or visit preparation process . Click each link below to learn more:
Student Assessment
Let's face it - standardized, high-stakes testing is often the go-to when seeking validation of NCLEX readiness. Unfortunately, this method often provides lagging measures that can be difficult to address. What educators really need are leading measures - best provided through formative assessment.
SyncSim Virtual Simulation Center events utilize multiple formative assessment techniques, which begin with pre-simulation activities and are integrated throughout the clinical experience.
Through direct observation and assessment-focused activities, students are evaluated on key knowledge, skills, and attitudes inherent to success as a professional nurse.
At the conclusion of each event, we send our clients an individualized performance report for each student, assisting educators in the identification of learning gaps which require further focus.

Clinical Cost
The process of providing clinical experiences to nursing students can be costly.
In addition to the "soft costs" of sourcing, onboarding, credentialing, and training clinical instructors, there is a need to manage clinical partnerships, oversee clinical schedules, monitor clinical compliance, and complete clinical observation visits. All of these things represent a strain on capital and human resources.
Lab-based simulations represent additional costs. Purchasing high-fidelity equipment, training faculty, and managing the lab schedule all require time and money.
Then there is the very real cost of clinical instructor compensation as hourly rates continue to increase due to faculty demand.
SyncSim has taken all of these things into consideration when creating our pricing model, with the goal to provide our amazing experiences at a cost savings to our clients. Check out a sample comparison table using the link below, and see why SyncSim is the cost-effective quality clinical solution:
