This past month, we had an amazing turnout for our Improving Simulation Instructional Methods (iSIM) course! Developed in collaboration with the Gordon Center for Research and Medical Education, iSIM provides all the foundational knowledge needed to develop and deploy effective simulation-based healthcare education. Led by WISER’s Director Dr. Paul Phrampus, Senior Associate Director Dr. John O’Donnell, and Director of Operations Tom Dongilli, participants learned best practices for designing sessions from start to finish, incorporating assessments, and leading successful debriefing all while running pilot scenarios. If you’re a healthcare educator looking to incorporate more simulation activities in your curriculum, or a novice simulationists with a desire to hone your skills, iSIM provides an active, hands-on learning experience sure to improve your knowledge and ability to run effective scenarios.
