Since then, more than 295 individuals from 10 countries have obtained <abbr>CHSE<\/abbr> certification. The <abbr>CHSE<\/abbr>-Advanced certification represents the continuation of professional development beyond the <abbr>CHSE<\/abbr>. Wong is one of only 16 individuals worldwide awarded the <abbr>CHSE<\/abbr>-Advanced certification.<\/p>\n<p>Only select healthcare simulation professionals earn this advanced professional recognition of specialized knowledge, skills, abilities, longevity and accomplishments in simulation. As leaders of excellence and innovation, the Â鶹´«Ã½Translational Health Science Simulation Center brings real-life scenarios to the classroom so that students can gain experience, confidence and skills they need to provide quality care.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2014\/02\/24\/real-drama-benefits-nursing-students\/\"><strong>VIDEO:<\/strong> Learn more about HealthCAST, a partnership between <abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa&#8217;s nursing and theatre departments, that provides nursing students with realistic patient simulations.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&ldquo;Dr. Wong&#8217;s <abbr>CHSE<\/abbr>-Advanced certification ensures that our center maintains national and international standards of simulation education for our students,&rdquo; said <strong>Mary G.
