Synopsis

Collaboration between course faculty, CME planners, and simulation center staff has resulted in a variety of methods to incorporate simulation-based experiences in continuing medical education conferences. This session will include practical approaches to incorporate simulation-based education into courses including best practices and lessons learned.

Purpose

Incorporation of simulation-based education in the context of Continuing Medical Education requires creativity and teamwork to overcome educational and logistic challenges. Simulation-based education has been demonstrated to be effective for meeting a variety of learning objectives (McGaghie, et al, 2010).

Collaboration between course faculty, CME planners, and simulation center staff has resulted in a variety of methods to incorporate simulation-based experiences in continuing medical education conferences. This group has hosted attendees in a dedicated simulation center and procedural innovation lab for task and procedural training; developed workshops and full-day immersive simulation courses and coordinated simulation into off-site courses with positive feedback from faculty and attendees.

Format

Panel presentation and demonstrations of simulation-based education.

Outcomes

Participants will learn practical approaches to incorporating simulation-based education into courses including best practices and lessons learned.
