Simulation
Key Points:
- A simulation device alone does not produce learning.
- Simulation interventions should be integrated into the curriculum with associated feedback, reflection and relevant learning outcomes.
- Learners are motivated to practice skills until they are successful.
- Assessments made in simulated environments have been shown to correlate with patient outcomes.
- Debriefing is an essential component of simulation training.
- Faculty may be resistant to integrating simulation because it puts them in an unfamiliar situation.
Objectives:
- Describe the importance of simulation-based education
- Incorporate simulation into your curriculum when appropriate

Patton K, Morris A, Çoruh B, Kross E, Carlbom D, Thronson L. Teaching to Teach Procedures: A Simulation-Based Curriculum for Senior Residents or Fellows. MedEdPORTAL Publications; 2015. This workshop was designed to improve senior medical residents’ comfort and skills in teaching junior trainees to perform invasive procedures. Core concepts include identifying the needs of the simulated-learners performing the procedure, setting expectations prior to the procedure, and debriefing after completion of the procedure. Components included in this resource include: instructions for pre-simulation preparation, tools to help elicit trainee participation, guide to role-play, and performance evaluations.

Willemsen-Dunlap A, Barker L, Bland A, Croland T, Vozenilek J, Wickham G. DIY: Creating Performance Assessments that Measure Up! MedEdPORTAL Publications; 2014. This workshop is a 90-minute experiential learning activity designed to improve participants' knowledge, skills, and abilities in creating reliable and valid simulation-based performance assessments and, secondarily, to evaluate assessment instruments that already exist. The files comprising this submission contain didactic material that reviews key concepts related to reliability and validity, construction of performance assessments, and information regarding use of assessment results to improve teaching and learning as well as an activity timeline. Contents also include room set-up information, as well as resource materials and worksheets for for participants' use during small group work.
