Session Information

Session Description

The growth of simulation-based education has led to an increased demand for surgical simulation educators. Junior faculty are frequently tasked with spearheading simulation training without experience in simulation, training in simulation theory, or knowledge of educational methodologies. This workshop offers valuable guidance for running a surgical simulation program, regardless of resources and experience. Experienced professionals in the field will share ideas and tools for developing or renovating simulation curricula.

Workshop Length

90-minute workshop

If a similar workshop is submitted, would you be willing to combine workshops into one session?

Yes

Would you be open to presenting a workshop of a different duration than selected above if needed?

Yes

Curriculum Development (Hands-on Activity): a hands-on activity will provide the opportunity for participants to work with other surgical educators to identify problem areas and how to conduct needs assessments at their institutions. Goals and objectives will determine educational strategies. Participants will be provided with various resources for validated simulation curricula and will determine which may be best for their program.
