SIME Webinars

AMEE Simulation Committee, Simulation in Medical Education (SIME) is a free series of  webinars focussing on the topic of Simulation presented by professionals and experts in the field of Medical Education Simulation.

Please see below for information on upcoming and archived SIME webinar sessions.

Title: Theories informing simulation practice - 1: How can I use theory in my simulation practice?



Presenters: Debra Nestel (Host) Monash University & University of melbourne, Australia
Alexis Battista, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Maryland, USA
Katie walker, New York City Hospital health Corporation, USA

Date: 16 October 2019

Time: 14:00 (BST + 1 hour)

Summary: This webinar will follow from the previously highly successful webinars in 2017 that feature theories that inform simulation practices. The aim of the webinar is to make specific theories accessible to siimulation practitioners. The webinar will first orientate attendees to the notion of theories and educational practices.You will hear from two presenters - Alexis Battista and Kaie Walker - sharing thier experiences of two different theories.First activity theory and how it has been applied to improve simulation practices.

Anyone who uses simulation as an educational method will benefit from attending.

Title: Simulation to understand and shape culture



Presenter: Eve purdy, Queen's University, Canada

Date: 22 October 2019

Time: 14:00 (BST + 1 hour)

Summary: Background: the use of simulation in medical education and quality improvement is on the rise. There has been significant focus on the modality for teaching and practicing communication and team behaviours. However, new evidence suggests that simulation may be an effective way to think about understanding the cuture of certain groups and shaping culture too.
Our research group has conducted a number of studies recently in groups ranging from medical students to high performing teams that suggest simulation may act as a moment of cultural compression - a moment when the values, beliefs and practices of a group are particularly strong and transmitted to those on the outside. Our work suggests that simulation design, delivery and debriefing decisions may reflect that culture but also play an important role in shaping it too.
Together, we will explore the cultural realities implications of simulation.
