Taught by CMS’ Harvard faculty, the “Simulation as a Teaching Tool Workshop” is a 4-day intensive immersion in healthcare simulation that is specifically designed for those educators seeking to develop high quality simulation programs. It covers 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 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 daily formats vary and include simulation scenarios, lectures, small and large group discussions, and practical exercises with feedback. Ample opportunities are provided for networking and sharing experiences. Attendees join a growing community of Institute graduates who are positioned as leaders in the field.

IMS New York Flyer

Join the Center for Medical Simulation and the New York Health and Hospitals Corporation for a live Twitterview on Monday, April 23, 2012 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. to discuss the importance of Healthcare Simulation

The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) and the Center for Medical Simulation will participate in a live Twitterview (interview on Twitter) to discuss the growing importance of healthcare simulation and its applications. Katie Walker, Director of HHC’s Institute for Medical Simulation and Advanced Learning (IMSAL) and Dr. Jeffrey Cooper, Executive Director at the Center for Medical Simulation (CMS) will share information on healthcare reform and the role that medical simulation plays as well as the instructor training course taught by faculty from the Center for Medical Simulation that will be hosted at IMSAL next week, April 24-27. Katie Walker and Dr. Cooper will also be available for questions. People interested in following the discussion can follow the handles @HHCnyc or @MedSimulation and #medsim.

Who:           IMSAL’s Director, Katie Walker and

We’ve added two IMS “Simulation as a Teaching Tool” Simulation Instructor Workshops in 2012.  The first workshop will be held at the Medical Simulation Center at Loma Linda University  in Loma Linda, California from February 6-9, 2012.  A few months later the CMS Faculty will head to New York City where they’ll teach the course at the Institute for Medical Simulation and Learning (IMSAL) at the Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx.
