Course description

The global objectives of these workshops which will run concurrently for 2 different groups of participants are to provide a sound overview to participants of two key simulation domains, namely how to develop a simulation centre and/or simulation programme, and the fundamentals of becoming a scenario-based simulation facilitator/educator. Although both of these workshops have different themes they will be highly relevant to the daily practice of Emergency Medicine, irrespective of the level of simulation expertise the participants have.

Learning objectives

  • 1. To explore the typology of simulation-based education.
  • 2. To acquire knowledge on scenario development and facilitation, briefing, and debriefing.
  • 3. To discuss aspects of Crisis Resource Management (CRM), teamwork, human factors, and interdisciplinary learning that can be addressed using simulation.
  • 4. To put newly acquired knowledge in practice in small groups by creating and running scenarios making use of a patient simulator, and facilitating a debriefing.
