Introducing Simulation Into Your Curriculum: From Principles to Practice
This one-day workshop is designed for educators and those who are interested in becoming an educator with a significant engagement in multidisciplinary simulation-based education. The program will provide participants with a foundational background of how people learn, the basic theoretical background behind simulation-based education, and the evidence for the use of simulation-based education in practice. Participants will learn how to implement deliberate practice into their educational activities as well as improve their debriefing skills (and how to support their colleagues on how to do the same). Co-learning with other leaders in simulation-based education will allow for networking and creating shared opportunities across the McGill community.
By the end of this workshop, the participant will be able to:
- Describe how people learn and the added value of simulation;
- Outline the principles of effective debriefing for simulation-based education;
- Apply different methods of debriefing and describe the advantages/disadvantages of each approach;
- Discuss a variety of opportunities and approaches for teaching and learning with simulation and outline best practices in each context.
