78 - Advances in Simulation: Transmitting Culture Through Simulation
Wednesday May 29, 2019
Wednesday May 29, 2019
In this, another joint feature with Advances in Simulation journal, we explore three main ideas:
- Why does simulation have such a symbiosis with culture?
- How to we understand more about this relationship? ie. there is nothing so practical as a good theory.
- What does can this teach us about targeting culture as a translational objective in a sim program?
To answer these questions we stir in the ingredients of a thriving simulation program/service at Gold Coast University Hospital, two pieces of academic work from our guests, and some personal reflection along the way. The guests for this episode are Simulcast partner in crime, Victoria Brazil, and the very clever, Canadian Emergency Doc, Anthropologist, author and adventurer on temporary loan to Australia, Eve Purdy.
The publications of interest are:
Brazil, V., E. Purdy, C. Alexander and J. Matulich (2019). "Improving the relational aspects of trauma care through translational simulation." Advances in Simulation 4(1): 10. https://advancesinsimulation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41077-019-0100-2

76 - Advances in Simulation - Words Matter
Friday May 03, 2019
Friday May 03, 2019
‘Non-technical skill’ is not a great term for the range of skills and behaviours we expect of our healthcare professionals. It also belies a not so subtle hierarchy of skills where ‘hard’, technical, ‘medical expertise’ are afforded primacy, sometimes to the detriment of our patient care.
Our latest collaborative podcast with Advances in Simulation features an editorial - Words matter: towards a new lexicon for ‘nontechnical skills’ training by Paul Murphy, Debra Nestel and Gerry Gormley.
In this podcast I was joined by Paul Murphy from Queens University Belfast, the lead author of the article, as well as Pamela Andreatta, who was part of a group who authored a similarly themed article in 2011.
We discussed words, culture, drama, impression management and values in health professional education and simulation.

75 - Advances in Simulation: Another Debriefing Course! Who Benefits?

Another debriefing course! Who benefits?
Kristian Krogh, Albert Chan, and Nancy McNaughton
Many health professional educators attend courses on simulation debriefing, but do they actually perform better as simulation debriefers as a result?
Writing in Advances in Simulation, Kristian Krogh (@DrKrogh), Albert Chan (@gaseousXchange) and Nancy McNaughton (@uto_nancy) provoke us to consider this issue in their commentary - Another debriefing course! Who benefits?
In this next instalment in our collaboration with Advances in Simulation, I spoke with Kristian and Nancy about the article. They suggest that high quality debriefing courses are not enough, and that we need to think more transfer to our local contexts, with a community of practice for peer feedback and support

Our final podcast from IMSH starts with a deep dive in to how simulation might help us ‘train’ more comprehensive leadership skills and behaviours – not just in the resus room, but rather in quality improvement and change management. @davidgrantsim , President of @SESAMSimulation , spoke to Vic on the topic.
Ben then turned our attention to followership and interviewed Jannet Lee-Jararam and Benjamin Berg from @SIMTIKI_HI in Honolulu.
We loved hearing from delegates at #IMSH2019 and @AmyZhengMD from @UCSDMedSchool kindly volunteered to be interviewed, and spoke about how IMSH had changed in the time she had been attending.
To wrap up – Ben and Vic reflect on their take home lessons from #IMSH2019. See you next year in California !

Our third podcast from IMSH starts with a focus on disruptive innovation, big data and artificial intelligence, based on the opening plenary by Joel Selanikio (@jselanikio) who also gave a TeD talk on the topic. Vic had a fan girl moment speaking to Ron Harden, living legend of medical education and General secretary of AMEE, abut his reactions to the talk.
We also spoke to Yue Dong (@dongyue), one of the conference organisers, for his reflections.
Ben finished the day with a chat with Suzie Kardong-Edgren (@SuzieEdgren) about Tag Team Patient Safety Simulation.

Our second podcast from #IMSH2019 features a deep dive on Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice with Bram Welch-Horan (@DrBramPedsER ), and some reflections on the topic from Belinda Lowe (@Belinda_J_Lowe ), Bond University Simulation Fellow.
We then shifted focus to research and publishing in simulation with Michelle Kelly (@KellyKelmich ) summarising the session on ‘Articles of Influence’, and Sharon Muret-Wagstaff , one of the associate editors of Simulation in Healthcare, giving us some tips on how to be a peer reviewer.
Ben and Vic reflect on other parts of Day 2, especially the morning plenary by Sir Ken Robinson, who inspired us to think about creativity and learning. Join the 56 million people who have watched his TeD talk on the topic here. Play more!
