1. Objectives
After completing this module, viewers will be able to:
- Write high-quality educational goals and objectives
- Outline a manikin-based simulation scenario based on learning objectives
- Describe a learner-centered approach to debriefing
2. Preparation in Advance
Before beginning this module, consider:
- Are there particular skills or scenarios that clinicians should “practice on plastic” before managing in real life?
- Are there skills or scenarios that are more safely or effectively taught in the simulation center rather than in the clinical setting?
3. The Module
Developing a Manikin Scenario
4. Application of the Module
Exercise
Using the tools from the manikin scenario design module, create a simulation scenario. If you completed “Overview of Simulation” before this, use the goals and objectives you developed already.
Think about:
- Learner demographics
- Time allotment (include introduction, scenario time, debriefing, and a second chance scenario)
- What other team members would be needed to successfully simulate the patient event?
- Case Information:
- Initial state
- Flowchart (actions, consequences, and endpoint)
- Bringing your manikin to life
- Debriefing
- What happened?
- Why did it happen the way that it did?
- How can we improve performance in the future?
- Key points to be addressed in debriefing
5. Next Steps and Coaching
6. Summary Points
Developing a Manikin Scenario
- Begin with the end in mind
- Plan logistics carefully
- Map out initial state of manikin and responses to learner actions
- Consider positive and negative consequences
- Make sure objectives are achieved before ending session, may need more than one chance to experience success
