The Michigan Standard Simulation Experience Scale (MiSSES) Template is a working document that includes the six components of the MiSSES toolkit. It is designed to provide a framework for assessment, providing the option of assessing entire range of domains identified through a review of simulation literature. The template was designed to be manually adapted by investigators to specific use scenarios. Investigators can select relevant sections of the template to use, based on their own needs. Refinement of the toolkit is ongoing, and additional user testing will result in iterative improvements to the MiSSES.
Users are free to adapt this template for their own use.
