2. What is simulation?Is there need for simulation-based education ?

3. Simulation-based Education • Facilitate the link between theory and practice • Improve: • patient safety (refine clinical skills) • critical thinking/decision making • team skills/communication • Evaluate learning across multiple domains

4. PLAN • Decide what needs are: • WHY need a simulation? • WHO is the simulation for? • WHEN in the semester should it be scheduled? • WHERE should it be done, classroom, sim room, post conference room • HOW should it be done • Props, manikin • Supplies • Faculty

5. PLAN • Where to get your simulation? • Develop/write or purchase your Simulation • Templates (many available out there) • Provides guidance on how to develop a simulation • Prep sheets

7. PLAN • Scheduling • How many students will go through a simulation? • How many times will they come in during the semester? which courses? • Will they come in as part of clinical time or on different day?

10. PLAN • How do you put multiple simulations together? • Sim kits • Organize supplies, meds

15. Facilitate • Pre brief • Shift report • Review of objectives • Orientation • Realism (moulage, props) • Debrief
