Simulation
Elective
This unit focuses on the competencies a Clinician Educator (CE) needs in order to develop and integrate simulation-based education into a curriculum. The CE will become a locally available resource for faculty development in simulation, helping to build capacity and to increase the delivery of simulation-based education.
Prerequisites:
Mandatory : Foundations 1, Teaching and Learning, Curriculum
Assessment (recommended)
Competencies Addressed in this Unit
Design simulation-based learning activities for incorporation into a larger curriculum
Key Documents
Objectives
By the end of this unit, the CE will be able to:
develop a simulation-based learning activity
demonstrate the appropriate integration of simulation into a curriculum
design simulation scenarios
lead a simulation-based learning activity
integrate CanMEDS competencies and interprofessional activities within simulation scenarios where appropriate
provide effective debriefing
evaluate simulation-based activities
Assessment
Please refer to the McMaster Task List for the Simulation Unit for a complete listing of the summative and formative assessments required for this unit.
