Simulation 101- Online Modules and Required Reading

The Simulation Center Faculty Development Committee has developed an asynchronous course for faculty who would like to learn more about facilitating Simulation, or are new to simulation. The course consist of three components, a Journal/Reading component,  five online modules, and a two-day face to face workshop. The course will span about 3 months, ending with the face to face component. 

 

The online modules for this course will cover the following topics:

  1. Simulation Modalities  (30 minutes)
  2. Adult Learning Theories (30 minutes)
  3. Simulation Process (30 minutes)
  4. Debriefing in Simulation  (60 minutes)
  5. Team Science: An introduction (60 minutes)

The participant will also be required to read 5 related journal articles.   Each article is the topic of a Discussion Forum where you are required to freely exchange ideas, reflections, and information with the other participants in the course

Target Audience

The target audience for this program includes UT Southwestern physician faculty, fellows and residents who would like to learn more about facilitating Simulation, or are new to simulation.

Learning Objectives

 

    After the completion of the Simulation 101 Modules listed above, participants will be able to:

    • Describe the initial development of a simulated educational event including identifying the audience, determining the knowledge gap, setting goals, and writing learning objectives

    • Differentiate between simulation modalities.

    • Determine an appropriate simulation modality for specialty specific skill.

    • Recommend a simulation modality based on advantages and disadvantages of each modality.

    • Explain debriefing and reflection in the context of adult learning theory

    • Describe simulation based methodology

    • Describe the impact of good reflection techniques

    • Describe the role that learning objectives serve in curriculum

    • Delineate the proper way to utilize knowledge, skills, and attitudes in educational experiences

    • Briefly explain the concepts of cognitive load theory, desirable difficulty, deliberate practice, zone of proximal development as it pertains to simulation

    • Identify the essential elements in scenario development

    • Describe the considerations for simulation day activities

    • Describe the essential discussions needed with participants prior to simulation event
