Academic nursing programs are tasked to generate the future nursing workforce by ensuring upon graduation students are practice-ready to provide competent and safe care.

In the educational process, nursing students deserve and learn best when instructional teaching methods integrate individualized and engaging learning approaches. However, delivering individualized education using traditional clinical teaching approaches is a daunting task, and ensuring nursing students master the cognitive knowledge, psychomotor skills, and affective behaviors necessary to perform the nursing role is not easily evaluated or confirmed.

This presentation describes an innovative clinical education approach, Simulation-Based Mastery Learning (SBML), integrated into clinical education engaging individualized teaching approaches, including identification of learner needs and deliberate practice, and ensured competence, confirmed through mastery evaluations. Presented topics include the theoretical underpinnings of SBML, educational needs appropriate for integrating a SBML approach, and a brief review of the literature supporting SBML effectiveness.
