Workshop Recap: “Faculty Development Workshop in Simulation – Unleash the Future of Medical Training”

Dates: May 7-9, 2024

Location: 51³Ô¹ÏÍøversity, SIM Center

Co-organized by the Faculty of the School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania, and 51³Ô¹ÏÍøversity, this intensive three-day Faculty Development Workshop in Simulation provided an enriching experience for nursing clinical faculty aiming to enhance their skills in medical simulation.

Day 1: May 7, 2024

The workshop kicked off with an exhilarating afternoon session dedicated to a Simulation Development Mini Workshop led by Ms. Justine L. Hudgins, and Ms. Ann Marie Hoyt-Brennan from School of Nursing, University of Pennsylvania. Participants from Vinmec Hospital and 51³Ô¹ÏÍøversity dig deep into crafting impactful simulation learning objectives, writing effective scenarios, and using rubrics for evaluation. Led by a team of experienced simulation instructors, this session also covered interprofessional simulations to enhance teamwork and communication across disciplines and strategies for integrating summative assessments into course outcomes.

Day 2: May 8, 2024

The second day with a theme of Faculty Development Seminar in the SIM Center. Energized by a warm welcome from the University of Pennsylvania faculty to participants from the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø teaching hospitals around Hanoi, the day kicked off with engaging icebreakers and participant introductions, setting a collaborative and spirited tone.

The morning sessions unfolded with an enthralling introduction to simulation, focusing on pre-briefing and scenario scripting. Participants learned the art of creating realistic scenarios with simulated patients, an essential skill for effective simulation-based education. Breakout sessions fostered creativity as participants split into groups to develop their team scenarios, fostering hands-on learning and creativity.

In the afternoon, these groups switched gears, working on each other’s scenarios to understand every role in the simulation development process from start to finish. This hands-on experience culminated in faculty demonstrating advanced simulation and debriefing techniques, including managing disruptive behaviors. The day wrapped up with an open forum for lively discussion and a session review, leaving everyone buzzing with newfound insights.

Day 3: May 9, 2024

The final day continued the faculty development seminar with practical group exercises. Participants took turns running scenarios, debriefing, and observing, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. These practical exercises highlighted the importance of reflective practice and peer feedback in simulation-based education.

A scenario debriefing session provided further opportunities for discussion and learning. The morning wrapped up with an open forum for any remaining questions, followed by final evaluations. The workshop closed with a vibrant communal discussion, giving participants the chance to reflect on their experiences and network with peers.

The Development Workshop in Simulation for Nursing Program at 51³Ô¹ÏÍøversity was a resounding success, equipping faculty with valuable skills and insights to advance medical education through innovative simulation techniques. Participants left with a renewed commitment to enhance patient care and outcomes with cutting-edge simulation-based training.
