Graduate Nursing Student Preceptorships

CAPE's faculty precept local nursing students whose schools are allied with Stanford Children's Health.  During preceptorships, students gain experience in education using simulation as a methodology for training healthcare professionals.  Students also learn more about the skills needed to deliver safe patient care in the fields of pediatrics and obstetrics.  Preceptorships are initiated by participating schools' student advisors, CAPE faculty and Stanford Children's Health.

California Simulation Alliance Apprentices

The California Simulation Alliance (CSA), led by the California Institute for Nursing & Health Care (CINHC), aims to foster the development of simulation as a modality for transforming the education of nurses. Through the CSA, nurses can apply for apprentice positions at four local simulation centers, including CAPE.  Apprentices at CAPE gain experience in both simulation-based education and the cognitive, technical and behavioral skills needed by providers in the fields of pediatrics and obstetrics.
