Objectives – Following this course, participants should be able to:

 

SimOps Day:

Recognize the intricacies of utilizing technologies to set up and perform a manikin or task training educational scenario
Differentiate different types of software and their capabilities
Explore networking issues
Compare in house maintenance techniques vs paid contracts
Determine the benefits of using pre built scenarios vs creating sim on the fly
Experiment with removing skins/ batteries etc
Troubleshoot on the fly (lose voice or connectivity)
Adapt means of accomplishing objectives
Integrate task trainers into sim activities (sonosim, vimedix, sp tools, lucyAR, pelvic exam SP)
Apply basics of moulage and suspension of disbelief
Demonstrate different types of moulage and setup
Construct methods of applying products for realism

Day 1:  Describe the 4 components of simulation

 

  • Identify opportunities for simulating real-world situations of the health professions. 
  • Given 4 modalities of simulation, differentiate their purposes. Discuss how simulation doesn’t work for everything.
  • Integrate modality knowledge in hands-on exercises.
  • Identify 4 components of simulation.
  • Apply moulage techniques for realism in SP and manikin scenarios.
  • Describe what a learning management system is. List the advantages of using a learning management system.  Discuss how to incorporate learning management into simulation and assessment.
  • Identify measurable learning objectives and Identify complete case scenarios. Correctly identify the components of a SMART Learning Objective.  Organize the various components of a simulation scenario into a complete document. Construct, as a group, a set of 3 properly formatted learning objectives for a simulation scenario using the prescribed criteria.
  • Discuss methods of providing feedback in a debriefing session.

 

Day 2: Apply techniques of simulation education

  • Construct 2-3 objectives for chest pain event with manikin and 3rd year nursing student.
  • Choose a tool for assessing learner’s progress and/or competency. Utilize multiple assessment modalities to triangulate observations.
  • Integrate knowledge of simulation modalities and write a case scenario which outlines the details of a learning activity.
  • Construct open ended questions related to the simulation experience; Select appropriate debriefing methods for the simulation experience; Demonstrate techniques to monitor progress of debriefing.
  • Prepare the simulation operator. Pre-brief the learners. Perform the role of instructor during a simulation
  • Debrief the simulation experience - debriefed by staff
  • Implement whole group debriefing/evaluation and integration of feedback from STEPS. Review each other’s group with peer feedback.

 

Day 3: Integrate advanced topics into simulation education

  • Recognize the intricacies of utilizing technologies to set up and perform a manikin or task training educational scenario
  • Integrate task trainers into sim activities (sonosim, vimedix, sp tools, lucyAR, pelvic exam SP)
  • Discuss the pros and cons of simulator death
  • Use realism to increase learner engagement.  
  • Develop manikin simulation #2
  • Prepare the simulation operator. Pre-brief the learners. Perform the role of instructor during a simulation. Debrief the simulation experience.
