Medical simulation has increased in size and scope over the past 20 years. What started out as an aviation industry safety standard has been picked up and adapted to meet the needs of the healthcare industry under the aim of improving provider/team competence and confidence, patient safety and decreasing overall costs. Now medical simulation is … Continue reading Medical Simulation Program: A Model for Sustainability
As the Director of Operations, I know it is important to engage the Sim Techs in every aspect of simulation. One thing that employers do is mistake the Sim Techs or Simulation Specialists for regular employees. Sim Techs are crucial in the success of everything from planning, to the overall operation. If you think about … Continue reading Sim Techs are Crucial to Every Program
Return on investment is the “golden unicorn,” when discussing your program with non-simulation types. Recently, Dr. Paul Phrampus recently tackled this subject: ——————————————– Education may NOT be the Return on Investment Value of Healthcare Simulation Its January 2019 and I am flying to San Antonio, Tx to attend the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare. … Continue reading Return on Investment in Medical Simulation

If you ever want to evaluate your learning objectives, we put together this neat tool that assess the quality of the objectives. We’ve adapted this tool from C. Hodell to meet our needs. https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/files/2015/03/Quality-Rating-for-Objectives.pdf https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/files/2015/03/Quality-Rating-for-Objectives-Worksheet.pdf There is also a presentation in the Faculty Development Video Series about this topic. Check it out. https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/education/faculty-development/
In order to provide quality Medical Education scenarios for our learners, the staff at the Medical Education Simulation Center utilize a process when creating curriculum and scenarios that follows the ADDIE model closely. We do this to ensure standardization of development and ensure nothing is forgotten. More information on curriculum development can be found at: … Continue reading How We Develop Our Scenarios
We are often asked what model or framework that we use when we design curriculum…we use the ADDIE model. The ADDIE model is a very common model that curriculum designers use today. Elements: AnalysisDesignDevelopmentImplementationEvaluation The ADDIE model provides designers with the necessary structure for designing curriculum and scenarios, regardless of the variables involved. More information … Continue reading Using ADDIE for Simulation Design
1. Know what the goals for the simulation are. Be specific. Review the scenario and the learning objectives ahead of time. This will help you stay focused and ensure that the salient points of the scenario are discussed. 2. Have a structure/framework Having a debriefing structure or framework will help you get organized; it will … Continue reading 6 Tips for Simulation Debriefing in Medical Education
