F14 -Using High-Fidelity Simulation to Enhance Basic Science Teaching in Medical School
This session will introduce medical educators to high fidelity patient simulation for basic science teaching in large groups. Computerized manniquins used for teaching clinical skills have become an important part of clinical training at many institutions, but recent work demonstrates that these can also be used to enhance pre-clinical basic science concepts in ways that are met with a high degree of student satisfaction. Participants in this session will learn about resources available to medical educators for using simulation technology as a teaching method in basic science courses. We will discuss previously described techniques for simulation with small groups, and then view a simulation scenario implemented with a large group to enhance learning of basic neuroscience concepts. Guided discussions will focus on evaluation of other potential basic science topics appropriate for simulation activities, and we will work together to create aspects of a simulation scenario that can be further developed for presentation at your institution. One additional area of focus will be modification of traditional simulation environments for use with large groups, which creates opportunities to utilize this learning method without the additional costs of allocating a dedicated physical space for these activities. While many medical centers have invested in the physical resources necessary to have a dedicated area for simulation, recent studies find that participants value this educational activity in non-traditional locations. Join us to learn how you can incorporate large group simulation into your own basic science curriculum. |
