Simulation Clinical Scenario Design Workshop for Practicing Clinicians.

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

• Faculty development is crucial for effective educational content design and delivery.
• Existing courses often focus on bedside teaching, with fewer options for simulation educators.
• There is a need for specialized training in simulation scenario design.

Purpose of the Study:

• To create a workshop for training prospective simulation educators.
• To equip faculty with the skills and knowledge to design clinical simulation scenarios.

Main Methods:

• A 90-minute workshop combining didactic teaching and hands-on practice.
• Guided instruction on developing goals, learning outcomes, and storyboarding scenarios.
• Incorporation of individual work, peer feedback, and instructor feedback.

Main Results:

• The workshop has been delivered in four iterations locally and adapted for an international meeting.
• 51 learners completed the workshop, reporting it as informative and knowledge-enhancing.
• Over 70% of participants reported significant increases in competence in scenario development objectives.

Conclusions:

• The workshop provides practical experience in clinical scenario development for simulation.
• Participants gain the necessary tools and knowledge to create and implement simulation scenarios.
• The training is applicable for use in institutional simulation centers or other facilities.
