Abstract
The research purpose was to describe Florida community college educators' perceptions of the institutional requirements, barriers, and benefits for implementing and sustaining high-fidelity simulation-based paramedic education. The mixed-method design was framed by a survey and structured interviews. Instructional requirements for simulation educators are formal faculty training in simulation pedagogy, curriculum integration, and facilitated debriefing skills. The barriers are formal faculty training, high cost, maintenance, simulation facilities, high faculty preparation time, and additional student time because of small group training. The benefits are realistic experience, psychomotor skills and critical thinking scenarios without harming patients, video of performance followed by facilitated debriefings, deliberate practice, and time saving because scenarios are replicated without waiting for clinical cases.
