Simulation Assessment and Feedback Tool (SAF-T)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Attached is a document containing a template feedback tool for simulation assessment of a learner. It is a simple, focused and incredibly helpful way to focus feedback on the critical learning objectives of the simulation. It also provides a ready tool for evaluation of learners in relation to each other.

Debriefing as Formative Assessment

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Attached is the document Debriefing as Formative Assessment: Closing Performance Gaps in Medical Education.

Abstract:
The authors present a four-step model of debriefing as formative assessment that blends evidence and theory from education research, the social and cognitive sciences, experience drawn from conducting over 3,000 debriefings, and teaching debriefing to approximately 1,000 clinicians worldwide. The steps are to: 1) note salient performance gaps related to predetermined objectives, 2) provide feedback describing the gap, 3) investigate the basis for the gap by exploring the frames and emotions contributing to the current performance level, and 4) help close the performance gap through discussion or targeted instruction about principles and skills relevant to performance. The authors propose that the model, designed for postsimulation debriefings, can also be applied to bedside teaching in the emergency department (ED) and other clinical settings.

DEM Simulation Course SOP

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

A well-run simulation program requires concerted effort from upper-level leadership to standardize optimal methods of course construction. This often entails creating a document that specifically outlines roles and responsibilities of the various people involved so that tasks can be managed in an efficient and predictable manner. The Word document attached below outlines the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for conducting simulation exercises at Madigan Army Medical Center for the Department of Emergency Medicine (DEM). In it, you will find the roles and responsibilities of the simulation course director (SCD).

If you are a simulation course director or manage a simulation program, this is a great starting place for creating your own SOP.
