'Three critical components influence students’ learning through participation in clinical simulations: adequate preparation, the demeanor of the faculty involved in the simulation, and debriefing at the conclusion of the experience.'
Cantrell, 2008
Debriefing will occur throughout your time on placement and it is a skill that is vital to your practice as an allied health professional
Comprised of discussion with peers and/or educators.
Receive feedback to observe the competencies you have achieved, and enables time for a proactive reflection.
A debrief is here to stay! It allows us to take forward what we've learned onto future practice.
Taking part in a debrief can benefit your learning in several ways, especially during your simulated placement. This mind map explores the importance of a debrief in a simulated learning practice scenario.
The Kolb's experiential learning cycle is used to assess the effectiveness of experiential learning & how debrief fits into the cycle.
