Objectives
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation: Definition
• “To do or make something which looks real but is not real”– Dictionary.com
• “An educational modality with which the learner physically interacts to mimic an aspect of clinical care for the purpose of teaching or assessment”– Adapted from Cook et al. , Med Teach. 2013
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation modalities for HPE
• Mannequin-based simulation
• Standardized patients
• Partial Task Trainers
• Virtual Reality
• Mixed Modalities
4
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Mixed Modalities / Hybrid Simulation
5
Combination of actors, partial task trainers and/or
simulation mannequins

Why Simulation?
• Patient Safety
• Learner Benefits
• Institutional Benefits
6
Learning Assessment
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation for Patient Safety
• Avoid “practicing” on real patients
• Error reduction
• Optimize communication / teamwork
7
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation to Benefit Learners
•Deliberate practice– Practice, received feedback, reflect,
practice again
•Practice in safe environment – Early practice of clinical skills
– High stakes, low volume events
8
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation to Benefit Institutions
• Disaster preparedness
• Test (new) systems
• Uncover latent safety issues
• Reduced malpractice insurance
• Accreditation and other compliance issues

SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Integration into Curriculum
• Simulation is one educational tool to get to the educational objectives of a curriculum
13
Kern’s 6 steps to curriculum development
1. Problem identification
2. Needs Assessment
3. Goals and Objectives
4. Education Strategies
5. Implementation
6. Evaluation and Feedback
KernThe Johns Hopkins University Press 1998
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Integration into Curriculum
• Simulation is most successful if related to other educational content and/or clinical experiences
14
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Simulation as educational strategy
• Is simulation the appropriate teaching modality to reach the educational objectives?
• Different types of simulation can be used for different educational objectives

16
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Feedback
• Often considered the most important aspect of simulation
• In scenario-based simulations, typically takes the form of “debriefing” – feedback with/among group of learners
• Effective feedback and debriefing require training and experience– Various approaches have been described
– Separate workshops dedicated to these topics

SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Deliberate practice
• Practice followed by feedback and reflection, followed by focused repeated practice

SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Mastery Learning
• Rigorous approach to competency-based education
• Different levels of mastery = different outcomes (or mastery standards) that learner needs to achieve at each level
• Requires clear bench marks with measurable outcomes
• Learner progresses through educational units of increasing level of difficulty

23
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Individualized learning
• Learners are active participants, not passive bystanders
• Can be challenging for larger groups of learners
• Different models to engage multiple learners in simulation– Rotating or shared “active” roles
– Observation roles with specific tasks
24
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Two more aspects to consider…
1. Controlled environment/psychological safety: learners can make, detect and correct errors without adverse consequences
2. Simulator validity or fidelity: the degree of realism the simulator provides
25
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Fidelity of simulation
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Fidelity – useful concept?
Replace term fidelity with• Physical resemblance
– Should get less emphasis (no evidence that it improves learning by itself)
• Functional task alignment– functional properties of the entire simulation context
that align with learning objectives
27
Hamstra et alAcad Med2014
SIMULATION: WHY, WHEN, WHAT?
Dimensions of Fidelity
• Equipment Fidelity– Highest with physiology-based mannequins (realistic
responses to interventions such as O2, medications)
• Environmental Fidelity– Highest with in-situ simulation (takes place in the
actual clinical setting)
• Psychological Fidelity– Highest if the participants forget the situation is not
real. Dependent on instructor/actor

Content knowledge
Simulation = Preparation
There are many factors that can impact learning
• SP activity:– Need to select and train actors; create checklists and
detailed instruction materials
• Mannequin activity:– Technicians need to know how the mannequin
should respond to various learner actions; create a scenario thinking about different paths
• Procedure activity:– Instructors need to know the trainers, and best
practices for procedural training (demonstrate, break down into step, practice with feedback)
