Abstract:
Since the early 2000’s, miscommunication in healthcare has been cited by the IOM and other studies as a major factor in causing medical errors, near-misses, and sentinel events. The method of clinical Simulation learning has been used to assist individuals and teams to learn, practice, and improve their clinical and communication skills. As a newer method, educators consistently reach for evidence of best practices to assist learners with the goal to improve team communication and increase patient safety. This presentation looks at the science behind behavioral learning and how improv can be utilized to overcome clinical training barriers.
Learning Objectives:
- Restate the cognitive behavioral and neuroscience research relating to best learning practices.
- Explain the correlation between an atmosphere of safety and the ability to establish new patterns of self-confidence, trust and adaptability.
- Compare and contrast the In-Sim Debriefing vs Post-Sim Debriefing process and how it applies to clinical student learning.
