Debriefing – Faculty Course
Healthcare simulation debriefing stands as a pivotal element of simulation-based education, constituting a structured reflective process post simulated scenarios or clinical encounters. It furnishes participants with the platform to assess their performance, dissect strengths, areas for improvement, and seamlessly integrate acquired insights into their professional practice.
This program endeavors to cultivate an inclusive learning environment wherein participants feel empowered to express themselves freely. Facilitators champion active engagement and cultivate a non-judgmental ambiance conducive to optimal learning outcomes.
Our goal is to equip you with the proficiency to guide participants through methodical discussions, concentrating on predetermined learning objectives and pivotal simulation events. Participants are encouraged to scrutinise their actions, decisions, and communication skills, pinpointing successes and areas ripe for development.
By utilising effective debriefing techniques and employing probing inquiries to instigate discourse and inspire profound introspection, participants delve into critical analysis and self-evaluation. This process aids in unearthing underlying assumptions, biases, and cognitive processes that influenced their conduct during the simulation.
The Debriefing Healthcare Simulation course runs over two days, serving as a standalone endeavour (though scheduling may vary if coordinated with other courses). Here, learners delve into the intricacies of debriefing simulated activities, drawing from educational theory, with our seasoned faculty guiding you every step of the way.
The competencies honed through this course are versatile, extending beyond simulation contexts to encompass various roles and responsibilities, notably communication and feedback delivery.
