Cognitive aids are used in multiple professions to enhance crisis management skills of
individuals. Simulation learning is used in all Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice Programs.
The simulated clinical experiences may include high fidelity simulation with or without the use
of a cognitive aid and has been shown to be of value to medical professions to bridge didactic
learning with the delivery of safe patient care. However, the relationship between the use of
cognitive aids in simulation learning of Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist and their
perception of clinical preparedness has not been assessed. The purpose of the scholarly project is
to determine “The Impact of Cognitive Aids in Simulation Learning on Perception of Clinical
Preparedness”
