93ZE751 — SIMULATION IN MEDICAL EDUCATION (TWO-WEEK ELECTIVE)

Description:

The Simulation in Medical Education elective is for students interested in an advanced understanding of high-fidelity simulation. Medical students and residents regularly utilize high-fidelity mannequins to simulate high-risk clinical scenarios in a safe, low-risk setting. The goal of this rotation is to learn more about what goes into medical simulation sessions: from the drawing board to educational delivery. Students will be involved with case creation, session programming and setup, as well as controlling high-fidelity mannequins.

Elective Details:

Primary Contact for Add/Drops: Dylan Cooper (ddcooper@iu.edu)

Director: Dylan Cooper, M.D.

Campus: Indianapolis

Location: The Simulation Center at Fairbanks Hall (Indianapolis)

This elective is for two weeks.

Open Enrollment or Permission Required?: Open Enrollment (during initial electives scheduling only)

Learning Objectives

  • 1) Develop knowledge base in operations and capacities of high fidelity simulation for medical education (PBLI1)
  • 2) Assist educators and simulation staff in developing, programming and implementing their simulation projects (PBLI1,PBLI2)
  • 3) Create a simulation case targeted for MS4 or resident learners (PBLI1)
  • 4) Demonstrate professional oral and written communication skills (ICS3, ICS4)

Assessment

Professional Development Evaluation Form; (Students receive their final grade based upon attendance, center feedback and grading of their final project. The attendance and feedback are completed through direct observation by simulation staff and educators, while the final project is graded by the course director).

Activities

Work with Sim Center staff in the delivery of simulation events at The Simulation Center at Fairbanks Hall, running events for IUSM, IUSON, and IU Health. Students will develop a novel simulation case during the rotation.
