Forward3-Day Immersive Healthcare Simulation Course
Overview
This course aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively design, facilitate, and debrief simulation education. This 3-day immersive simulation education course is designed to cover the foundational elements and best practices in simulation education.
Day 1: Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of simulation education, including its theory, design, and the various types of simulation technology.
Day 2: The focus will shift to the development of simulation education, including drafting effective simulation scenarios. Participants will also receive hands-on practice with prebriefing techniques and an introduction to facilitating simulations.
Day 3: The emphasis is on debriefing through experiential practice exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to implement the simulation scenarios they created on Day 2, including conducting prebriefing and debriefing sessions.
Course Format
This course will be held in-person at the UW Health Clinical Simulation Program.
