Redesim Podcast Promotes Healthcare Simulation Training, Patient Safety

Healthcare simulation podcasts are a great way for learners to hear about the latest innovations across clinical simulation. The “Redesim” podcast was launched by the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2021 and presents different guests from across healthcare simulation. They exchange educational experiences that have been generated with the implementation, development, and innovation of simulation-based teaching, in addition to promoting good training practices. medical and patient safety. This HealthySImulation.com article shares more about this podcast, including a breakdown of current episodes.

SIMex Activities in Spanish

A partir del 2017, cada año se lleva en la Ciudad de México el encuentro internacional de simulación clínica SIMex, el cual este año presenta su sexta edición bajo el eslogan “La Simulación Clínica: elemento transformador del proceso educativo” y se lleva a cabo en el Centro de Exposiciones y Congresos de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). este encuentro internacional reúne a grandes personalidades de la simulación en ciencias de la salud para compartir experiencias, avances, retos y sobre todo brinda un espacio para generar enlaces entre los apasionados por la simulación.



El encuentro cuenta con un día destinado a talleres pre-congreso donde los asistentes pueden elegir entre múltiples talleres para desarrollar habilidades, profundizar temas de interés e interactuar con varios de los congresistas antes de los días de conferencia. Algunos de los talleres llevados a cabo este año fueron: Debriefing TALK, diseño de escenarios, modelos de realimentación, manejo de recursos en crisis, implementación de simulación híbrida, paciente estandarizado con profesionales de artes dramáticas, administración y gestión de centros de simulación, acreditación de centros de simulación, ambientes híbridos con pacientes virtuales y vídeo análisis, bases del debriefing, debriefing difícil, evaluación con simulación, entre otros. Estos talleres se desarrollaron en dos sedes principales: el Centro de Enseñanza y Certificación de Aptitudes Médicas (CECAM) de la Facultad de Medicina y en la Unidad de Posgrado.

El ciclo de conferencias matutinas ocurre durante los próximos tres días, con la participación de referentes de la simulación clínica nacionales e internacionales como el Dr. Melchor Sánchez Mendiola, Lic. En enfermería Carla Prudencio, Dr. Diego Andrés Díaz Guio, BA EMT-B Lance Baily, Dr. Peter Dieckmann, Dr. Yasuharu Okuda, Dr. Federico Ferrero, PhD Kimberly Louis Leighton, Dr. Jose Luis Medina, entre otros. Por las tardes, Los congresistas nacionales e internacionales cuentan con espacios más pequeños y especializados donde se ofrecen “Charlas con el experto” con diversos temas donde los asistentes pueden elegir su tema de interés y tener una interacción más cercana y directa con el congresista.
