Abstract:
Effective debriefing is at the heart of learning in the simulated environment. However, debriefing is a complex task where a simulation educator takes on several vital roles: guide, mediator, facilitator and teacher. These various roles and the differing contexts in which debriefing conversations occur suggests that the professional development of a clinical simulation debriefer cannot be limited to a singular event, such as a conference workshop or a debriefing course. Rather, simulation educators should embrace a journey of continuous growth and development that occurs as they gain experience, acquire additional tools that can be used across different situations, and seek out feedback relative to their debriefing practice.
This webinar will explore the complex journey of a clinical simulation debriefer as it relates to skill acquisition and the development of debriefing expertise. Several formal and informal opportunities for professional development in debriefing will be presented by two international experts in the art and science of debriefing with over 30 combined years of scholarship in debriefing and faculty development.
This webinar is designed to share more about the Master Debriefer Course, which provides the advanced content, strategies and tools necessary to support the development of simulator educators within your program. This comprehensive course focuses on improving debriefing skills by exploring various important elements of debriefing, including: psychological safety, blended-method debriefing, learner-centered debriefing, co-facilitation, emotions in debriefing, peer feedback/coaching, cultural aspect of debriefing, cognitive load, difficult debriefing situations and faculty development.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the journey of debriefing professional development as it relates to skill acquisition and evolving expertise.
- Identify five strategies simulation programs can use to help build simulation educator skills within their program.
- Summarize opportunities for simulation educators to improve their debriefing expertise through offerings from The Debriefing Academy.
