Simulation, assessment and technology in Medical Education

Simulation, assessment and technology in medical education. This session brings together a panel of educators with a track record of innovation and design in medical education. Chris Nickson, Daniel Cabrera, Jenny Rudolph, Sandra Viggers, Simon Carley, Victoria Brazil, Walter Eppich & Jesse Spurr join to discuss the past, present and most importantly the future of how we will teach and learn critical care. They address some burning questions including, what does it mean to be an educator? Is simulation the answer to everything? What do we need from medical education to encourage healthcare professionals to thrive into the future? They explore the future changing role of the medical educator from one of information delivery and assessment to co-learner and developer. This is particularly challenging when asking senior healthcare professionals to unlearn processes and to be flexible and open to new ways of doing things. We are encouraged to consider the role of culture... how can we create a culture which embraces learning and new ways of doing things? How do we establish a system where positive role models are in abundance and lead by example in challenging situations? Furthermore, the panel consider whether new technologies really change education or simply form adjuncts to traditional learning models? FOAMed is so easily accessible and is an excellent tool for learning but how do we also integrate and adapt traditional models of learning? From DAS SMACC, our panel of experts light the flame of medical education and challenge the audience to consider the complexities and role of simulation, assessment and technology in medical education. Tune in for an interesting and engaging discussion about medical education in healthcare. For more like this, head to https://codachange.org/podcasts/
