Abstract:
While clinical faculty may have a strong connection with their clinical students and a valid perception of the learner experience of clinical simulation, the professional roles of educators and researchers inherently limit what students share. This resistance to providing honest learner feedback temporally and spatially limits the faculty’s understanding of students’ experiences to the educational or research setting.
This CE presentation aims to better inform medical simulation educators and researchers about student engagement and how to construct better learning experiences and support students in simulated training. Students of varying experience levels will present their perspectives and experiences with healthcare simulation and how to support their learning in healthcare simulation to better become “practice-ready”.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe common clinical student perceptions of healthcare simulation-based education.
- Identify insights from student perception that can be applied to clinical simulation education.
- Compare and contrast student perceptions with existing faculty beliefs about student experiences to help learners become practice-ready.
