Improving Simulation Instructional Methods

 

iSIM class

This 3-day internationally renowned program, created in collaborative effort between WISER at the University of Pittsburgh and the Gordon Center for Research in Medical Education at the University of Miami, is designed as an introduction to fundamental skills and abilities for delivering simulation-based healthcare education through a variety of techniques and technologies. The program emphasizes hands-on activities and active participation to maximize simulation-based instruction skill acquisition. Class group sizes are kept small to allow for maximum participation. The primary audience for this course are healthcare educators wishing to improve their skills as instructors in simulation education.

 

We are happy to announce that have added a new specialty course to iSIM focused around improving "Assessment" and "Debriefing". This course will make it's debut in Miami on April 10-12, 2012.

 

This three-day course addresses the rationale for using simulations in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), as well as the advantages and potential challenges inherent in these methods. Participants will devise simulator-based stations, develop scoring instruments, and run a small-scale OSCE during the course using various simulators and task trainers. Participants will also develop their own debriefing instrument and have the opportunity to apply it in a team-based scenario. The program is open to all healthcare professionals who are interested in improving their simulation-based assessment and debriefing skills and is targeted at those with a background in healthcare education.
