The IPE team has completed a few trainings on simulation and scenario design. Here are our key takeaways from the work completed so far.<\/p>\n
1) Designing a case, designing a scenario, and designing a simulation are all different things.<\/p>\n
2) Typically, scenarios are designed to immerse students in less frequent and high stakes situations.<\/p>\n
3) It is important to fully understand how to design a scenario within one discipline before attempting to design a multidisciplinary scenario.<\/p>\n
4) When designing a scenario for a simulation, the scenario isn\u2019t long (15 minutes) and therefore it has to be designed in a way that the students can complete the simulation within that time frame.<\/p>\n
5) The Bambini model for scenario design is a very useful approach and each scenario contains an initial phase, an intermediate phase, and a final phase.<\/p>\n
6) Each scenario should include a \u2018trigger\u2019 that challenges the students to use their clinical reasoning skills in order to decide on an intervention plan.<\/p>\n
In addition, the team has designed a 6-step guide called How to Design a Scenario and an accompanying tutorial. To access these, please use the following links.<\/p>\n
