MDE 8094 Interprofessional Teaching in Healthcare Simulation 15-16

Any interested student MUST meet with Valerie Rupp, CRNP,  MSN  and/or Amy Smith, PhD to discuss individual goals for applying for a simulation in healthcare elective.

This elective is designed to introduce students to the art and science of simulation in healthcare and how to utilize simulation to teach effectively.  The course will include didactic and experiential learning. Under the guidance of the LVHN interdisciplinary Simulation Center, students will have the opportunity to observe simulations, assist with developing curriculum as it pertains to simulation, design and develop cases to meet course objectives and implement a simulation.

Objectives

1. Describe principles of adult learning and experiential learning theories.
2. Describe key concepts of teaching with simulation and how to incorporate simulation into curriculum. 
3. Compare teaching with simulation versus assessing with simulation.
4. Describe the various types of simulation modalities and how to choose the modality to best meet course need.
5. Review simulation curriculum from a student perspective and design.
6. Design and develop an interprofessional simulation course including simulation cases, SP scripts, and an effective evaluation tool.
7. Discuss effective debriefing and apply techniques to practice cases.
8. Discuss the effective use of video debriefing.
9. Discuss using standardized patients when building simulations and how to utilize the standardize patient for evaluations.
10. Discuss utilizing moulage to add realism to simulation.

Evaluation

Students will be evaluated by the course director at the end of the course based on professionalism and the design of a simulation case.  The simulation staff and faculty will provide formative and summative evaluations throughout the course.
