The Center for Medical Simulation, in partnership with Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology, now offers team-training workshops designed for leadership and management teams across healthcare (hospital administration, medical device, pharmaceutical, biotech, consulting, medicolegal, etc.). The workshops are designed to improve both individual and team performance by developing collaboration and communication skills and strategies in a relevant active learning environment.

Team challenges with a simulated patient in a highly realistic clinical environment form the core of the program. CMS faculty and professional facilitators work with the team both before the simulation, discussing objectives and expectations and then again after the simulation, identifying important interactions, key learnings and actionable strategies.
The format allows the group to then turn this learning immediately into action, working on a real-world project with the help and support of the CMS facilitators. Topics include teamwork, effective communication, resource management, and performance enhancement. Because the CMS setting is such an unusual environment, it often enables discussion of deeprooted issues that would be impossible anywhere else. |
This experience provided my team with a unique stimulus. It generated very successful performance by the entire team throughout the year.
