Fundamentals & Debriefing in Simulation - Based Healthcare Education

Programme Highlights

Simulation-based education has become increasingly adopted by tertiary healthcare institutions globally. The challenge for faculty is to design and develop lesson plans that optimise the simulation experience of participants for effective learning and utilise faculty time efficiently to ensure the sustainability of their simulation-based programmes. This three-day course is designed to be interactive – consisting of short didactic sessions and hands-on practice of the essential skills needed for simulation-based healthcare education.

Participants will work in groups to run their simulation scenarios, discuss the common pitfalls encountered, and receive feedback on these sessions. They will also have an opportunity to share their experiences and exchange ideas on integrating simulation-based learning into their existing curricula. Participants will be exposed to different debriefing techniques and strategies and work in groups to discuss and role-play various debriefing situations using both standardized patients and high-fidelity simulators. They will also evaluate debriefing sessions, receive feedback on their debriefing techniques and reflect on areas where their debriefing can be made more effective. This course is aimed at faculty who are interested in using simulation methodologies to enhance their curriculum.

Course Objectives

• Understand the basic concepts in healthcare simulation
