Simulation's other side: Engaging your simulated patients (webinar)
When:
Much simulation training for physical therapy faculty focuses on the students/learners, but what about the other half of the simulation…the standardized/simulated patient (SP)? In this one-hour course, Professor Sharon L. Gorman covers considerations
related to standardized/simulated patient issues by focusing on implementing standards of best practice. She highlights specific
- factors related to SP training learning
- strategies to better engage your SPs during case development
- methods that ensure safe working conditions for your SPs.
Learning objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the five domains in the Association of Standardized Patient Educators Standards of Best Practice (ASPE SOBP).
- Construct cases with standardized/simulated patient input factors for consideration.
- Monitor simulations to ensure a safe work environment for standardized/simulated patients.
- Plan training to maximize standardized/simulated patient engagement and involvement for better outcomes.
Target audience
- Physical therapy educators and academic faculty who are interested in simulation-based learning
- Program chairs who are implanting simulation-based learning experiences in their curricula.
