What is a key benefit of using scenario-based learning in HealthStream courses?

Scenario-based learning is particularly effective because it provides learners with the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practical, real-world situations. This type of learning immerses participants in realistic scenarios that closely mimic challenges they may face in their professional environments. By engaging with these scenarios, learners can not only enhance their critical thinking and decision-making skills but also retain information more effectively as they see the direct application of their learning. This also fosters a deeper understanding of concepts, as learners are able to connect theoretical knowledge with practice, ultimately making their training more relevant and impactful.

While other aspects such as course completion rates and training duration may be influenced by the structure of a course, the primary strength of scenario-based learning lies in its ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice, enabling practitioners to develop competencies that are vital in their specific roles.
