HPE5014 - Applied simulation - 2017

This unit will provide participants with the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills related to working within a range of simulation environments. It will introduce participants to the practical strategies related to planning, designing and delivering simulation-based learning. The unit includes clinical skills, simulation scenario development and designing simulation activities.

Upon successful completion of this unit, students should be able to:

1. Critically appraise healthcare simulation education literature for application in teaching practice;
2. Identify a range of simulation modalities and technologies, and describe their application in healthcare simulation education;
3. Design, plan and prepare a simulation scenario;
4. Apply a model of psychomotor skill development relevant to healthcare teaching and learning environments;
5. Discuss the phases of a simulation scenario and the impact each phase has on the learning experience.

• Teaching practical - scenario delivery (30 minutes group work) (20%)
• Teaching practical - debriefing (30 minutes group work) (20%)
• Debate activity (30 minutes group work) (20%)
• Clinical simulation scenario plan (2 hours preparation, 30 minute delivery) (40%) (hurdle)

Two days teacher directed learning (study days) and up to 10 hours/week self-directed learning
