Recent Comments from Summit Attendees:

“I learned the ability to schedule events on low staff coverage and the possibility of tracking competencies in alignment with already established scenarios.”
“It was very insightful to reflect on our own thoughts before conducting a debriefing session. To place ourselves in the students shoes and understanding their thought process. The tips provided to conduct difficult debriefings were very helpful also.”
“I learned how to offer simulation experiences with low faculty staffing, support student mindfulness to decrease anxiety, a framework for scaffolding simulated experiences.”
“We learned various techniques to manage sim days with low faculty numbers, what IPE simulation is, and how other programs run them.”
“I like the idea of using relaxation techniques in simulation. I have become more flexible in my debrief style.”
“We were given ideas for moulage, ideas for allowing students to schedule themselves, and EMS system troubleshooting tips.”
