CMS Adds a Simulation Instructor Workshop in Singapore to its Spring Lineup

Posted by

The Center for Medical Simulation will be bringing its Simulation Instructor Workshop, “Simulation as a Teaching Tool” to Singapore this spring. The course will be hosted by The Centre for Healthcare Simulation (CHS) at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in Singapore from Monday, May 5th through Thursday, May 8th 2014. Last year was the first time CMS taught its Instructor Workshop in Singapore and we’re very excited to be invited back!

Taught by CMS’ Harvard faculty, this 4-day intensive immersion in healthcare simulation is specifically designed for those educators seeking to develop high quality simulation programs. It covers all the high level elements and concepts involved in using simulation as a teaching tool. Drawing on the disciplines of aviation, healthcare, psychology, experiential learning, and organizational behavior, participants will learn how to teach clinical, behavioral, and cognitive skills through simulation. Participants explore simulator based teaching methods applicable across the healthcare education spectrum, including undergraduate and graduate medical, nursing and allied health domains.

The workshop’s daily formats vary and include simulation scenarios, lectures, small and large group discussions, and practical exercises with feedback. Ample opportunities will be provided for networking and sharing experiences.  Attendees join a growing community of Institute graduates who are positioned as leaders in the field.
