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!

In this special edition of Simulcast, we feature three articles on simulation applied to point of care ultrasound (POCUS). Vic visited the team at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Ultrasound Division (@jeff_sono) in Philadelphia, led by Dr Resa E. Lewiss (@ultrasoundREL)
Resa chose 3 articles for us to review, each focused on different aspects of using simulation for POCUS education. These have obvious relevance for those who use ultrasound at the bedside, but anyone using simulation for clinical skills training will find our discussion interesting.
The papers:-
- Mackay FD, Zhou F, Lewis D, Fraser J, Atkinson PR. Can You Teach Yourself Point-of-care Ultrasound to a Level of Clinical Competency? Evaluation of a Self-directed Simulation-based Training Program. Cureus. 2018;10(9):e3320. Published 2018 Sep 17. doi:10.7759/cureus.3320
- Chetioui, A., Masia, T., Claret, P.-G., Markarian, T., Muller, L., Lefrant, J. Y., … Bobbia, X. (2018). Pocket-sized ultrasound device for internal jugular puncture: A randomized study of performance on a simulation model. The Journal of Vascular Access. https://doi.org/10.1177/1129729818812733
- Fikri M. Abu-Zidan and Arif Alper Cevik. Kunafa knife and play dough is an efficient and cheap simulator to teach diagnostic Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS). World Journal of Emergency Surgery 2019. 14:1
On the podcast I am joined by Resa Lewiss, Zack Risler (@zrisler), Kelly Goodsell (@k_goodsell), Dan MIrsch (@DanMirsch), Mark Magee (@markamagee), Arthur Au (@arthurkau), and Rishi Kalwani (@RishiKalw)

Ben and Vic at IMSH – podcast one
The International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) is the biggest sim conference in the world. This year it was held in San Antonio, Texas, USA and Simulcast was a podcast partner for the meeting. Over the next few weeks, we’ll release five podcasts of conference highlights.
Ben and Vic interview speakers, attendees, organisers, researchers, tech gurus and educators, and bring you some of our perspectives on what are useful lessons for our simulation practice.
I this first instalment, we hear from the incoming president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), KT Waxman (@KTWaxman). Ben interviewed an enthusiastic Komal Bajaj (@KomalBajajMD) about the Women in Leadership pre-conference activity, and James Leung (@drjscleung) from the Impacts group on paediatric simulation research.
We heard more from our friend Stuart Rose (@INFOdebriefing) on clinical debriefing, and reflected on the opening plenary.

Simulcast Journal Club podcast November 2018 episode
Ben and Vic discuss the paper of the month, including expert commentary from our own Jesse Spurr! Is this really the holy grail of ‘proof’ for insitu sim?
Josey, K., Smith, M., Kayani, A., Young, G., Kasperski, M., Farrer, P., Gerkin, R., Theodorou, A. and Raschke, R. (2018). Hospitals with more-active participation in conducting standardized in-situ mock codes have improved survival after in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest. Resuscitation, 133, pp.47-52.
We also discussed 3 other papers, with a theme of scenario/ simulation design.
The first two were focused on complexity science.
- Launer J. Complexity made simple. Postgrad Med J 2018;94:611–612
- Gormley, Gerard and Tara J. Fenwick. Learning to manage complexity through simulation: students’ challenges and possible strategies. Perspectives on medical education (2016).
On this topic, Jesse reminded us of this great post from Chris Hicks (@HumanFactOrz) https://emcrit.org/emcrit/complexity-of-simple/
And finally – local work from the team at Mater hospital, including @ErinlW_ and @SJanssensSimOG in Brisbane that adds to our understanding of realism, especially in procedural simulation.
- Wilson E, Hewett DG2, Jolly BC, Janssens S, Beckmann MM. Is that realistic? The development of a realism assessment questionnaire and its application in appraising three simulators for a gynaecology procedure. Adv Simul 2018 Nov 8;3:21
Thanks again to our listeners and contributors for a great year in 2018

In this episode of our continuing collaboration with Advances in Simulation, Victoria takes the helm and interviews two brilliant guests about a high profile, multi-journal simultaneous publication:
Advances in Simulation
Journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare
Journal of Surgical Simulation
It is with great pleasure that we have Dan Raemer, one of the authors of the editorial ‘Simulation Safety First. An Imperative’ as guest today. Dan Raemer has had a long career in simulation and medical education spanning almost 40 years. He is a bioengineer by training and been a member of a surgery or anesthesiology department for his entire working life. Dan was the Chair of the Founding Board of Overseers for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare and was it’s first President. Now in partial retirement, Dan, along with a nurse educator, Ann Mullen, and a renowned anesthesiologist, Alex Hannenberg, all from Boston, USA have started an education-oriented foundation to promote simulation safety.
We are also lucky to have Kara Allen along to discuss. Kara is an anaesthetist who in involved with inter professional simulation, including education and systems testing. She developed the CRASH and STAR courses which now run across Australia and New Zealand, helping critical care specialists navigate career transitions and return to work after leave. This has led her to work in a number of simulation settings, from stand-alone centres to simulation facilities embedded in clinical settings.
Victoria, Dan and Kara, traverse the unintended harms from simulation and discuss the equal harms of not using simulation as a translational tool.
If this sound familiar to Simulcast listeners, it is because Vic interviewed Ann Mullen (one of the authors of this article) back in October 2017 about hers and Dan's project, Foundations for Healthcare Simulation Safety.
So read the article, think about your simulation safety and take the pledge to improve.
