Many healthcare simulation programs are orchestrated by a number of individuals, while other clinical simulation programs fulfill operations with a team of one. While medical simulation provided by just a few curious individuals can certainly make an impact, larger teams are able to afford even greater educational opportunities to learners. For this reason, simulationists operating [...]
Healthcare simulation is a dynamic and effective method of experiential learning that can be incorporated into any clinical education program. There is no better teacher than experience and no safer way to gain healthcare experience than through the use of clinical simulation. However, there is a learning curve involved for the clinical educator who is [...]
Task Trainers tend to be used in group settings throughout the medical simulation world. For example, intravenous line (IV) access training provided by the healthcare simulation team is typically found in settings such as a Nurse Residency program. There tend to be a number of newer clinicians going through the correct process and practice of [...]
Debriefing in medical simulation has been a hot topic of discussion for years. There has been literature published to help relay to simulationists that a huge portion of the healthcare simulation learning experience is derived from debriefing. However, not all novice simulationists understand how to begin this process. This HealthySimulation.com article shares 10 basic guidelines [...]
