Simucase Guided Observation Program

With the Simucase Guided Observation Program, students can earn observation hours at their own pace in a safe virtual environment!

Ready to get started?

  • Reach out to your academic program coordinator and confirm that they will accept watching videos for observation hours.
  • Purchase a Simucase membership.
  • Download the video checklist for your professional area of study:
  • The checklist includes a link to each video in the library along with its topic area and run time.

Watch the videos

  • Choose the videos you want to watch based on the topics you’re interested in and how many hours you need.
  • Watch each video in Interactive Mode and answer the questions.
  • You must watch each video all the way through for the completed record to show up in your My Learning transcript.

Tips for improving your observation skills

  • Avoid distractions while watching observation videos.
  • Keep a journal. Write down your observations and questions.
  • Pay attention to details. Try to identify which details are important.
  • Quantify things as you see them. Practice recording data.

Participate in a guided discussion

  • When you’re done watching all of the videos, sign up for a Zoom webinar and participate in a guided discussion led by a certified/licensed professional from your area of study.
  • You’re required to participate and answer questions during the guided discussion.

  • Following the webinar, you’ll receive a certificate of participation.**
  • Download your Video Activity Record. Provide the documentation to your supervisor. If your school or program already uses Simucase, your faculty will also have a record of the videos you completed.
*Simucase supervisors will approve only video observation hours that students earn from watching the videos on the checklist. No substitutions will be accepted.
**It may take up to five business days to process your certificate. Please plan accordingly.
