High-fidelity clinical simulation scripting

Synopsis

The aim of this training course is to equip participants to develop high-fidelity simulation scenarios. Activities will be proposed to integrate the various tools in order to produce a realistic scenario.

Training objectives for the participant

• Familiarize yourself with the vocabulary associated with clinical simulation;
• Familiarize yourself with the different types of objectives pursued in simulation ;
• Know and apply the methods that promote an effective simulation scenario;
• Understand the different stages involved in creating a screenplay;
• Reflect on learners’ learning needs in relation to the scenario’s pedagogical goal;
• Develop effective pedagogical objectives when creating the script;
• Determine the level of complexity required for the scenario in relation to the target audience;
• Know the characteristics of patient simulators, standardized patients and the SCHF environment;
• Integrate best practices when developing a clinical simulation scenario;
• Plan all the logistics involved in building the scenario:
  • Choice of simulation type;
  • Building the algorithm;
  • Choice of script cut and sequence;
  • Know the characteristics of patient simulators, standardized patients and the SCHF environment;
  • Use simulation tools judiciously, depending on the degree of realism required.
• Start writing the high-fidelity clinical simulation scenario using simulation templates and tools;
• Take a critical and constructive look at the best practices to follow when developing a scenario in a SCHF situation.

Activity sequence

Learning assessment methods

At the end of the day, participants will take part in a short assessment consisting of multiple-choice and/or short-answer questions. Attendance at the activity, as well as successful completion of the learning assessment and a satisfaction questionnaire, lead to recognition of 7 hours of continuing education and the award of a SOFEDUC-accredited training certificate.
