Upcoming Course Schedule

Evaluating AI Systems: Accuracy, Bias, and Trust
When: October 15, 2026 | Format: Virtual
Join us to learn about common performance metrics used to evaluate AI systems, to identify potential sources of bias and error in AI models, and to apply structured approaches for assessing AI-generated outputs.

Item Writing & Test Analysis
When: October 23, 2026 | Format: Virtual
Writing valid and reliable examination questions is one of the most difficult tasks to master as an educator. Increase your expertise by learning item construction and analysis using multiple techniques in this workshop.

AI Governance & Responsible Implementation
When: November 19, 2026 | Format: Virtual
During this month's presentation, Chris Hickman will describe the purpose and structure of AI governance programs within healthcare organizations, explain ethical and regulatory considerations related to AI implementation, and identify the role of healthcare leadership in responsible AI implementation.

Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE)
When: December 4, 2026 | Format: Virtual
Participate in this one-day virtual SSH Certification Review Course to better understand certification requirements, assess your strengths and areas for growth, and develop a personalized action plan for your certification journey.

The Future of Nursing Work in an AI-Enabled Healthcare System
When: December 17, 2026 | Format: Virtual
The December episode of 3rd Thursday with AI! is a must for nurse educators. Chris Hickman will describe emerging AI trends influencing healthcare delivery and clinical operations, explain how AI technologies may reshape nursing roles and responsibilities, and discuss strategies for preparing nursing students and faculty for AI-enabled practice environments.

The AI We Shouldn’t Build
When: January 21, 2027 | Format: Virtual
Some AI uses conflict with nursing values, professional duties or human dignity. Using the “Should We Build It?” Decision Canvas, participants will evaluate proposals for harm, consent, reversibility, affected groups and alternatives to determine whether to proceed, redesign or stop.

When AI Meets Real Nursing Work
When: February 18, 2027 | Format: Virtual
AI succeeds or fails within real workflows, not demonstrations. Participants will map roles, handoffs, interruptions, exceptions, double work, escalation and downtime to identify risks and opportunities using a reusable Workflow Fit & Failure Map.

The Human Must Decide
When: March 18, 2027 | Format: Virtual
Human oversight only works when people have authority, information and time to act. Through a branching case, participants will explore automation bias and verification burden, then define review, override, documentation and escalation responsibilities.

Show Me the Evidence
When: April 15, 2027 | Format: Virtual
Accuracy alone does not prove an AI system is useful, safe, equitable or ready for practice. Participants will conduct a guided claim review and apply an Evidence-to-Use Rubric to assess populations, workflow fit, error cases, subgroup results and outcomes.

Shadow AI Is Already Here
When: May 20, 2027 | Format: Virtual
Unsanctioned AI use often stems from real needs, easy access and unclear approval pathways. Participants will examine shadow AI scenarios in education, clinical work and administration, then develop proportionate responses using a Shadow AI Triage Card.

The Day the AI Was Wrong
When: June 17, 2027 | Format: Virtual
Organizations need a plan before an AI-related near miss or adverse event occurs. Through a facilitated tabletop exercise, participants will work through detection, containment, communication, reporting, recovery and learning to create an AI Incident Response Playbook.
