Description: 

Simulation in health care enables the training of future practitioners in a psychological safe learning environment and without placing current patients in harm's way. Simulation provides the opportunity to reach proficiency and confirm competency on difficult or critical skills that are needed for safe and reliable system performance. Further, it exposes individuals and teams to realistic clinical challenges using task trainers, mannequins, standardized patients, high vs. low fidelity modalities, and other hybrid forms. However, those who provide healthcare educational experiences utilizing simulation often lack fundamental knowledge and experience to deliver experiences that align with best practices in teaching. Without this experience under their belt, it is difficult if not impossible to effectively train healthcare professionals using best practices in experiential learning, thus having the potential to compromise patient care outcomes. This two-day course will address in-depth thought and reasoning as students learn comprehensive skill components which can be applied to teaching and confirming competencies of the interdisciplinary team. Students will then apply what they've learned in the classroom to realistic simulations of clinical challenges in the laboratory. Participants will learn first-hand how simulation training helps learners prepare to deal with unanticipated medical events or complex care, thus increasing their confidence in their core competencies.
