Counseling Education Management Gets a Boost with Simulationiq Counseling
Have you heard about the SIMULATIONiQ Counseling platform by Education Management Solutions? SIMULATIONiQ Counseling is a turnkey solution specifically geared towards organizations engaged in the practice of providing counseling services and professional counselor education. Whether they're a small practice, hospital, or university setting, SIMULATIONiQ Counseling can help an organization adhere to CACREP (Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Education Programs) standards, maintain HIPAA compliance, enhance client and counselor outcomes, and improve operational efficiencies. In addition, SIMULATIONiQ Counseling supports “role play” teaching as well as learning with actual clients.

How can SIMULATIONiQ Counselinggive a boost to all of these varied but equally essential elements?

To begin with, SIMULATIONiQ Counseling streamlines a training environment's people, processes, and data. Through the stream lining process, professional counselors, educators,and counseling program faculty members are better able to make accurate assessments on their students' progress. Both masters-level and doctoral students may see clients in the field, and through the SIMULATIONiQ Counseling platform, a student can be tracked from day one onward, inside and out of the classroom. Faculty can view recordings and determine whether students have transferred the skills they've learned during peer-to-peer role-play to their work with actual clients.

A student may also directly access theSIMULATIONiQ Counseling platformby maintaining a personalized data set that includes a calendar and a full portfolio of his/her work in the counseloreducation program. Counseling students can see how far they've come and how far they still have to go: by using the educational base set by the program, they learn from mistakes and translate a theoretical framework into real-life emotional intelligence and skill.

Faculty and students aren't the only ones who appreciate the way a counseling education management platform can strengthen a program. Education Management Solutions'SIMULATIONiQ Counseling helps program supervisors build a case to gain or maintain program accreditation. Counselor education programs that meet CACREP standards are more likely to maintain high benchmarks and develop and enhance counseling curricula based on educational advancement and societal need. Counselor education programs seeking CACREP accreditation must self-evaluate and show a commitment to aspiring to, meeting, and/or maintaining standards. When a counselor education program employs counseling education management, it demonstrates the university's commitment to providing top-tier training facilities for its students, as well community service and development by offering free or low-cost counseling to the university and local communities.

Counseling education management also enhances the university's image and makes it possible for programs to attract students. In a CACREP-accredited counselor education program, the latest SIMULATIONiQ Counseling technology couples with a strong curriculum to bring students the best learning environment and the best resources, from physical capital to faculty. Prospective counseling students can expect to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful professional counselors at the completion of their degrees. SIMULATIONiQ Counseling by Education Management Solutions takes a student's hard work and amplifies it: a well-maintained portfolio will showcase progress and help a student stand out to his or her professors.
