13th Annual Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Conference-Chicago Simulation Consortium 2015
What is Simulation?
Medical simulation is a tool for education and research. It provides an environment that recreates realistic clinical scenarios or clinical procedures using actual medical supplies and equipment but uses realistic patient simulators to represent patients.
Simulation can be a powerful tool for education, assessment, and research. It provided an environment that allows for deliberate and repeated practice of critical skills that can help to improve quality and patient safety.
13th Annual Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Conference-Chicago Simulation Consortium 2015
The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine–Clinical Performance Center and UC Simulation Center will host a one day conference designed for faculty, standardized patient trainers, and medical educators of the Chicago Simulation Consortium, a group of local peer institutions to engage in educational activities about current and innovative uses of simulation methods for medical education and research. We aim to increase knowledge on the implementation of simulation education, research and assessment across the continuum of medical education. This free conference offers presentations, poster sessions and breakout sessions that focus on medical educational theory, simulation design and implementation, as well as data for recently piloted or completed projects.
Target Audience
This activity has been planned for medical educators committed to the use of simulation in the training of health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this educational activity, participants will be able to:
- Recognize a new simulation technique for education or research across the continuum;
- Describe new techniques for simulation education and research;
- Assess how peers use simulation for education and research.
