Principles of Simulation in Medical and Healthcare Education

CPD and short courses (short course)

Chelmsford

10 weeks

Module level: 7

Module credits: 30 credits

Overview

Developed for those involved in, or interested in, developing and leading simulation-based learning in medical and healthcare education.

Delivered using blended learning, you’ll be encouraged to critically explore the evidence base behind the use of simulation in medical education, before attending 2 workshops based in our state-of-the-art Simulation Suite here at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford Campus. During these workshops you’ll experience simulation sessions as both a learner and facilitator, allowing you to see how the theoretical concepts behind simulation are applied in practice.

You’ll be supported through the design and development of a simulation-based learning activity for your specific context and, in a final follow-up workshop, you’ll lead a session with your fellow students acting as co-facilitators and learners.

Assessment for this module consists of the design and development of the participant-led simulation session, including:

  1. A session plan with a rationale for the learning theories chosen to underpin the design and justification for its need within their sphere of practice.
  2. An observation of the delivery of the participants planned session, with peer and tutor feedback.
  3. A critical evaluation and reflection on the design and delivery of their simulation-based learning activity, highlighting the learning you've taken from this process and recommendations for your future development within this field.

Who should attend?

This inter-professional course is designed for registered professionals from across the healthcare sector, who are engaged in simulation teaching or learning as part of their professional role. Reflecting the needs of our learners, our programme is delivered face to face in Chelmsford.
