AUDIOCONFERENCE ON TAPE, CD OR AUDIO ARCHIVE

Sponsored by Residency Program Alert

presented on August 27, 2007

Measuring competency in a resident program is a guessing game.  Adding simulation technology to your curriculum can provide answers for measuring resident skills.

Assess and document competency in a more concrete and objective way!

Simulation training can enhance resident confidence, reduce risk, and provide a better, more efficient method for training. Listen to HCPro for Simulation Training in GME: How to start and run an effective program, and find out how.

This 90-minute presentation shows you how this active evaluation method can improve competency assessment and documentation at your facility.  It will provide an overview of the available forms of simulation, as well as how to implement them, and how simulation fits in with the core competency evaluation required by the ACGME.

AGENDA

1. Why use simulation?
   1. Benefits
      1. Enhanced resident confidence
      2. Reduced risk to patients
      3. Better/more efficient training
      4. Active vs. passive learning
      5. More degrees of freedom (redo, errors ok, pause time, part tasks)
   2. Barriers
      1. Paradigm shift
      2. Faculty development
      3. Scheduling time
      4. Implementation costs
      5. Resource support
      6. Technology lagging
2. Status of simulation training in GME?
1. Programs using simulation
2. Simulation in medical school vs. simulation in GME
3. Case studies
3. Using simulation to help meet ACGME Requirements
1. Training to the competencies
2. Evaluating resident performance
3. Content and curriculum development
   1. Incorporating simulation into existing curriculum
4. Getting a simulation program up and running
5. Studies from the field (variety of situations programs are dealing with)
4. Q&A

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the program, you will be able to:

• Incorporate simulation training into your curriculum
• Create evaluation tools for formative assessment
• Discuss the latest methods for training physicians in simulation
• Identify best practices and benchmark programs

BEFORE LISTENING, PURCHASERS SHOULD ALREADY UNDERSTAND…

• How to run a residency program
• The challenges that come with residency programs
• The five competencies

MEET THE SPEAKERS

He received a B.S. in Biology from Old Dominion University and an M.D. from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia. He is a board certified emergency physician who completed residency training at the University of Pittsburgh where he now holds an appointment of assistant professor in the department of Emergency Medicine.

Dr. Daniel Raemer, PhD, is associate professor of Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School and a bioengineer in the department of Anesthesia and Critical Care at Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Raemer has developed a special expertise in teamwork and crisis management over the past fourteen years at the Center for Medical Simulation in Boston.  He recently received a unique award for excellence in teaching from the Harvard department of Anesthesia.  He has worked globally to establish the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare, is the founding trustee and immediate past-president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare.  He is also a past-president of the Society for Technology in Anesthesia.

NEW PURCHASE OPTION

In addition to the regular participation options for HCPro audioconferences, audio tape or audio CD, we are pleased to offer a new option, an audio archive. Audio archive allows you to download the program and play it back at your convenience through your computer or MP3 player.

WHO SHOULD LISTEN?

Residency program directors, residency coordinators, designated institution officials, graduate medical education administrators, medical staff professionals

Purchase a tape, CD, or audio archive of the program and listen when you can. It's also a perfect training tool for new staff or as a refresher for veteran staff.
