The primary audience for this course is healthcare educators looking to implement best practices in simulation facilitation and debriefing; strategies and techniques.

Format

Designed for the busy healthcare educator with limited time, the Simulation and Advanced Skills Center Simulation Educator Workshop boasts a blended learning approach that combines standard simulation best practices online education modules followed by hands on application with real-time feedback from trained faculty. The online component was recently updated to provide/review (4) areas: Introduction to Simulation, Prebriefing and Preparing, Facilitation, Debriefing. Once onsite, daily formats vary and include small and large group discussions, practical exercises with feedback, and scenario building with practice facilitating a scenario from pre-brief to debrief.
