Session

Description: APA Simulation-Based Medical Education Simulation-based medical education is a powerful tool to improve knowledge, technical skills, and comfort especially with low frequency, high risk events. However, developing an effective simulation can be a daunting task. In this hands-on workshop, we aim to provide learners with a framework for approaching simulation development to create an effective scenario and case flow. We will round out the session by highlighting strategies to facilitate a debrief that will promote a safe learning environment to reflect on and critically evaluate performance and behaviors.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to list the primary components of a simulation scenario and identify components to increase fidelity.
Upon completion, participants will demonstrate the use of specific learning objectives to serve as the foundation of their scenario construction.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify strategies used to facilitate an effective debrief and demonstrate their use in simulation.
