Course description

Simulation is a technique to replace or amplify real-patient experiences with guided experiences, artificially contrived, that evokes or replicates substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive manner. As an educational strategy, simulation provides the opportunity for learning that is both immersive and experiential. Thus, to improve education and ultimately enhance patient safety, healthcare professionals are using simulation in many forms including simulated and virtual patients, static and interactive manikin simulators, task trainers, screen-based (computer) simulations and ‘serious’ gaming. Moreover, simulation has the potential to recreate scenarios that are rarely experienced and test professionals in challenging situations, and to carefully replay or examine their actions. It is a powerful learning tool to help the modern healthcare professional achieve higher levels of competence and safer care.

 
These 2 days courses managed by world class experts on simulation will give the opportunity to trainees to get knowledge and how to teach simulation in emergency medicine using high fidelity manikins in a simulation center.

Learning objectives

The global objective of this course is to teach participants how to use Simulation in Emergency Medicine education. At the end of this course, participants will be able: to appreciate the impact of Simulation on the daily practice of Emergency Medicine, to create and run a scenario, to use a simulator (SimMan), to brief and debrief trainees.

  • To learn the basis on medical education, medical error and human factor.
  • To get knowledge on Simulation in Emergency Medicine: definition, tools, scenarios, briefing, debriefing.
  • To learn the concept of Crisis Management (CRM) and team work and multi-disciplinary approach in Simulation.
  • To practice Simulation by producing scenarios and using SimMan in small trainee groups.
