-Workshop - Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice: Team-based Resuscitation Scenarios

Traditional debriefing follows scenario completion, and is the primary learning time. For procedural skills, deliberate practice combined with rapid expert feedback and mastery training is effective. An alternative to traditional debriefing called Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice applies deliberate practice and mastery learning to resuscitation teams. We will introduce RCDP concepts, and learners will practice teaching using RCDP.

-Workshop - Teach and Assess Procedural Skills like an Expert: The L-S-P-P-D-M Approach

Teaching procedural skills and assessing procedural competence are critical functions of healthcare simulation. In this interactive workshop, simulation educators from the INSPIRE collaborative will describe how to implement a 6-step approach to procedural skill instruction and assessment: Learn-See-Practice-Prove-Do-Maintain. Participants will leave the workshop with the skills to develop a procedural skills training curriculum at their centers.

-Expert Panel - Interprofessional Educational Courses and Curriculum Design

Recent recommendations from educational organizations have begun to strongly encourage schools of nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and other allied healthcare institutions to incorporate opportunities for IPE to occur during healthcare education and training. This multi-professional expert panel will share their experiences, successes, challenges, and recommendations for designing, running, and sustaining quality IPE efforts.

-Podium - Accreditation Top 10 (+)

This session will cover the key issues and/or questions that are consistently asked for becoming an SSH Accredited program. It is intended to share the ‘big picture’ on being accredited as well as the process to become accredited by covering these key points.

-Workshop - D-Squared: How Debriefing the Debriefer Can Take Faculty Development to the Next Level

The purpose of this workshop is to allow participants to experience and improve upon the Debriefing of the Debriefer. This workshop will follow a structured approach and will focus on faculty development among peers. The structured approach of Debriefing the Debriefer will take its frame from the DASH. This workshop is intended to be highly participatory allowing participants to move their faculty development program to the next level.

-Podium-Creating a Faculty Development Plan: A Tiered Approach

Faculty development is key to a successful simulation program. In order to support the growth of a simulation program, faculty must be adequately prepared and mentored by simulation experts. Our simulation center sought to develop a tiered faculty development program. Within this program, levels of expertise are obtained after satisfying requirements such as training courses, observations, participation in simulation, and a mentorship process.

-Podium - Metrics and Outcome Measures for Accreditation

Program metrics and outcome measurement is vital to meet standards established by the Accreditation Council for Simulation Programs in Healthcare. Based on experience reviewing accreditation applications, performing site reviews, and administering simulation programs, the faculty will review the important data and outcomes measures necessary for SSH accreditation and offer suggestions for methods of collection.
