Highlighting the interprofessional event: Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program video creation
Earlier this year, the UPEI Clinical Learning and Simulation Centre (CLSC), in collaboration with the UPEI faculties of Medicine and Nursing, hosted an engaging interprofessional event to produce video content for the Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program.
This innovative program is designed to train facilitators in simulation pedagogy, bringing together a diverse group of health-care professionals, educators, and simulation experts. The event embodied the core principles of interprofessional education and teamwork.
The primary objective was to create high-quality, engaging video content that captures the essence of best practices within simulation. These videos will serve as essential training resources for facilitators, providing foundational knowledge and practical insights into the effective application of simulation in their educational practices. The footage emphasizes key components such as scenario development, debriefing techniques, and the integration of simulation pedagogy. The Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program will feature authentic simulation scenarios that showcase best practices in simulation facilitation, debriefing, interprofessional communication, and crisis management.
This event showcased the power of interprofessional practice, involving physicians, nurses, paramedics, and respiratory therapists. Each participant played a critical role in ensuring the authenticity and educational value of the content produced. Participants provided hands-on facilitation training, where they were recorded demonstrating effective instructional techniques, providing future learners with clear examples to follow. The event also promoted interprofessional collaboration, facilitating a rich exchange of knowledge and skills among participants and emphasising the critical role of teamwork in health-care education.
The video footage captured during this event will form a cornerstone of the Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program, enhancing its accessibility and impact. By creating visually compelling and pedagogically sound materials, the CLSC is poised to elevate the standard of simulation facilitation training. Furthermore, the event highlighted the value of interprofessional collaboration in achieving educational excellence.
The Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program will be available to health-care students and practitioners across the University and Prince Edward Island.
The CLSC acknowledged that the basis for the Sim FUNdamentals Facilitator program was obtained with permission from the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine.
The CLSC extended heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who dedicated their time on a Saturday to make this event a success. Their contributions are invaluable to the advancement of healthcare education.
