Group I: Intervention ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The educational intervention will be TTACS, the training program with simulated roleplays. Each participant will be asked to schedule 10 hours of time to utilize the simulation. In order to ensure all participants adhere to the minimum intervention requirements, each will be asked to schedule training time with a member of the research team. Participants will attend an initial training session where each participant will receive a short orientation about the product and its capabilities. Participants will attend an initial training session at one of two sites Psychology Department at Towson University or SIMmersion's office in Columbia, MD based on participant preference. Subsequent training sessions may be completed at Towson, SIMmersion or can be completed individually. Participants will receive confirmation emails the day before a scheduled session and a phone call to reschedule any missed sessions.
