A new experience in learning, a new conversation about improvement. Apply to participate in TSDD below.
UI Health Care Center for Procedural Skills and Simulation, in collaboration with the Office of Consultation and Research in Medical Education and the Departments of Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, and Nursing.
Purpose
Participants in this course join a growing community of practice in health care that applies debriefing and/or simulation effectively to promote learning, teamwork, and patient safety.
Learning Objectives
- Design, conduct, and debrief an interprofessional simulation
- Contrast effective use and measurement of simulation versus didactic methods
- Analyze health care teamwork skills in critical situations
- Utilize communication styles of members of ad-hoc teams
- Deliver effective educational feedback in a manner that promotes reflection
- Describe how a "culture of inquiry" promotes resilience in teams and organizations.
Course Topics and Activities (depending on instructor availability):
- Learn DISC communication styles
- Participate in simulations and teamwork activities
- Work with experts to design simulations
- Engage in discussions about how people think and learn
- Network with others who are interested in simulation-based learning
- Practice debriefing, difficult conversations, and advocacy/inquiry activities
The Experience
‘Simulation’ can refer to several different types of activities. To provide an example of simulations TSDD will focus on, please watch this 5-minute video of actors demonstrating two simulations of a ‘code blue’ event in an airport. https://youtu.be/ISpPf1FXfiE
In TSDD, we design, participate in, and debrief such scenarios to learn how a team moves from the first run to the second and beyond. The course involves up to four hours of work beforehand for vital time to sleep on these concepts and a mixture of didactic and experiential learning.
As instructors and ‘simulation enthusiasts’ our hope is to apply these statements together with TSDD participants:
- Teamwork is not just team spirit, it is a skill that requires practice.
- Simulation is not a better PowerPoint: experiential learning promotes different abilities than didactic learning.
- Debriefing is not a harmonious chat, it is a fearless joint reflection on perspectives.
- Safety is not simply error-free execution, it is also training and resources to adapt to the unexpected.
- Leadership is not brilliant control, it is humble building and using strengths.
Intended Audience
Health care faculty and staff interested in development of debriefing and/or simulation skills. Students are also welcome if their advisor or program director agrees this is applicable to their program or will be used during their time at UI.
Special Note
This course is intended to be an immersive experience. We respectfully ask that you arrange to be off service and free of call responsibilities throughout the course. You must attend all three sessions of the course. To build cohesiveness we also provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks for all 3 days of the course. Al so please note, there will be 4 hours of required work to be completed prior to the start of the course.
Registration
Space is limited so we use an online application. The cost for TSDD is $300. Instruction on paying the fee by MFK or credit card will be sent out via email when your application is accepted. Payment must be received within 8 weeks of your acceptance or 20 calendar days before the course starts (whichever is first) to secure your spot. Contact Julie Hartman at 1-319-353-8701 with any questions regarding the registration.
CME and Nursing Credit Potential
TSDD has offered CME credit before and may arrange to do so again if this is of value to our participants. There will be an additional charge. Please contact us as soon as possible, as these arrangements will take time.
