Healthcare Simulation

Catalog description

This two-week elective draws back the curtain on healthcare simulation. It is designed for 3rd year students who are interested in teaching with high fidelity simulation. Students will learn how to create a simulation session, from idea generation to program facilitation and debriefing. Students will have the opportunity to work with members of the Simulation Center team to develop and execute high fidelity simulation programs. Students will be involved in all aspects of simulation education, including case creation, session programming and setup, as well as controlling high-fidelity mannequins. Students will participate in a basic core curriculum involving hands on work and short lectures on scenario design, curriculum design, debriefing, and simulation modalities. They will also create an educational module of their own and present it to the Simulation Center staff.
