How Learning Used to be… • • • No Computer No Internet No TV No Video No Mobile Phone • Less Diversions!
Net Geners Learn Differently • By 21 years of age, – 10, 000 hours playing video games – 20, 000 hours on e-mail – chat – blog – 20, 000 hours watching TV – 10, 000 hours on cell phones, and – under 5, 000 hours reading • They need: – fast paced, highly stimulating presentations – increased interactivity with content & each other – information that relates to the learner’s world – multiple options for obtaining knowledge. Susan El-Shamy. Training for the new and emerging generations. Quoted in http: //scope. lidc. sfu. ca/mod/forum/discuss. php? d=521
Parenting Net Generation!
Educating the Next-Generation • Medical education has responded by increasing the amount of : – multimodal content (visual, auditory, kinesthetic “hands on” practice) – active learning (read, write, discuss) – experiential/contextual learning (job shadowing, simulation labs) – problem based learning, team projects.
Simulation for Residents with Kinesthetic Learning Style • An individual’s preferred way of learning: • A study of learning styles of 20 anaesthesia residents: – Auditory (listening – – strongly (90. 0%) or lecture), moderately (10. 0%) tactile – visual text (reading print kinesthetic textbook), • Medical simulation will be – visual picture (seeing a valuable Hands-On images, diagrams), teaching modality, – tactile kinesthetic – especially for students with (learning by doing, handsa strong tactual kinesthetic on), learning preference. – verbal internal kinesthetic (learning by Linda M. et al. Value of Medical Simulation for Residents with putting into own words) Tactual/Kinesthetic Learning Styles [State University of New York] in ANESTH ANALG 2005; 101; S 1 -S 90
The Can. MEDS initiative – Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Specialist roles for the future specialist: medical expert/decision maker, communicator, collaborator, health care advocate, manager, scholar professional Can. MEDS initiative focuses on those ignored in resident training: – communicator, – collaborator, – manager and – Professional Simulation has been advocated to train residents in these roles Ref - Brown & Finucane. “ 7 roles…” in ANESTH ANALG 2005; 101; S 1 -S 90
The Can. MEDS initiative – RCPSC • Residents’ experience with real critical events is unsatisfactory. – The frequency of these is unpredictable – Staff take over managing critical events when they occur – Poor pre-planning and inadequate debriefing. – Traditional teaching by clinical work, rounds, anesthesia conferences, etc do not deliver substantive learning • Resident rated simulation based learning high – learning was powerful and experiential – Simulator learning allowed for deep integration of book knowledge with practical skills, – especially in the areas of communication, collaboration, teamwork and leadership. Bottom line: “Simulation use must be strongly endorsed at an institutional and university level. ” – RCPSC
End-Of-Life Communication – Usefulness Report of Simulation • high-fidelity simulation with professional actors; • observation of other trainees engaged in simulation; • debriefing with the learning team; • Supporting learning activities and material • Most helpful items – Direct participation & interaction with “realistic” actors – Observation of other trainees – hearing other trainees discuss difficult conversations – Debriefing and discussion with the learning team – Feedback provided by the proxy patients and –parents What Components of an End-Of-Life Communication Simulation Program are Most Helpful To Trainees? [Boston and Harvard Medical School] Elaine C. Meyer, et al in ANESTH ANALG 2005; 101; S 1 -S 90
End-Of-Life Communication – Feedback on ‘what was learnt’ • Communication skills – value of speaking honestly, – allowing for silence, and – individualizing their language and approach – based on the family’s needs and preferences • Relational skills – listening, – showing concern, and – bringing their own humanity to bear during difficult conversations – are highly valued and long-remembered by families

SBME is Now Becoming a Vital Need • Bristol Case of high mortality in Paed Card – The training of doctors in advanced procedures – How to approach the so called learning curve of doctors for standard procedures – How clinical competence and technical expertise are assessed and evaluated – How doctors explain risks to patients • GMC inquiry raised several such issues Editorial - All changed, changed utterly. BMJ 1998; 316: 1917 -1918
An Ethical Mandate for All • Patients are to be protected from all avoidable harm • They are not commodities to be used as conveniences of training Amitai Ziv, et al. Simulation-Based Medical Education: An Ethical Imperative. Acad. Med. 2003; 78: 783– 788.
Barriers to Student Access to Patients • Bedside teaching is in steady decline – Only about 50% were accessible – 35% (70% of above) agreed to give history – 34% agreed to be examined – Assessed by repeated cross-sectional audit – too few to provide current student population with extensive clinical experience • We must use Simulated Patient encounters Leslie G Olson et al. Barriers to student access to patients in a group of teaching hospitals. MJA 2005; 183 (9): 461 -463
SBME (Simulation-Based Medical Education) is an Ethical Imperative • Medical training must use live patients to hone the skills of health professionals. • But we have an obligation to ensure patients’ safety and well-being by providing optimal treatment. • Balancing these two creates ethical tension in medical education. • SBME can mitigate this tension by taking care of – best standards of care and training, – error management and patient safety, – patient autonomy, & – social justice
Simulation of Vaginal Birth for Third Year Harvard Medical Students • it is not unusual for students to complete their labor rotation without conducting a normal vaginal delivery. • The goal of this pilot program was to provide a realistic simulation of a normal & abnormal vaginal deliveries to students of 3 rd year. • Post-course evaluations were uniformly positive. • Sample comments include: – “Wonderful way to learn”; – “I forgot it was Friday evening”; and – “Great combo of didactics and teaching” Roxane Gardner et al. in ANESTH ANALG 2005; 101; S 1 -S 90
Simulations may be effective if used wisely • Evidence of the effectiveness of carefully implemented simulations: • A review of 109 studies looked at whether medical simulations actually facilitate learning. • The best available evidence shows a benefit for simulations when four conditions are met: 1. educational feedback is provided, 2. learners are given the opportunity for repetitive practice 3. exercises based on the simulation are integrated with the curriculum, & 4. tasks range in difficulty. Editorial – Med Teacher 2005; 27: 10 -28

The Future of Simulation The IOM report made strong recommendations with regard to medical simulation: Ø “Establish interdisciplinary team training programs, such as simulation. . . ” Ø Use procedures to mitigate injury through simulation training. Ø Create a learning environment. “Use simulations whenever possible. ” Ø (IOM Report: To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, Institute of Medicine. National Academy of Sciences. 1999)
Simulation & Transformation of Medical Education • Three pillars of a major transformation occurring in medical training today: – Patient centered care with an emphasis on quality and safety; – new training models, including standardized clinical encounters and simulations; and – competency-and milestonebased education, training, and credentialing. • We must accept the primacy of patient welfare and embrace our commitment to professional competence • In future, medical education, residency training, CME/CPD and clinical privileges in practice will bear little resemblance to the past Gary J. Becker, Simulation and the Coming Transformation of Medical Education and Training. Radiology 2007; 245: 7– 9
Future Vision of Simulation in Healthcare • Systematic training and assessment – a major priority. • Simulation training will be applied to individuals, teams, work units, and organisations. • Simulation will be an important "bottom up" tool for – creating a culture of safety and – for fostering changes in work procedures and systems. • Facilitate competency focussed clinical training and practice. • Costs of simulation based training will vary depending on its complexity. • Benefits of simulation may be hard to measure. • Key drivers of simulation include public, insurers, professional societies, accrediting organisations, & regulatory agencies.
