High Fidelity Case-based Simulation Debriefing: Everything You Need to Know from Academic Emergency Medicine on Vimeo.

The fourth Academic Emergency Medicine video lecture has published. The videos in our Peer-reviewed Lecture Series (PeRLs) are intended to represent the state-of-the-art in emergency medicine education. Residents, practicing physicians, and medical students may use them for didactic education.

High Fidelity Case-based Simulation Debriefing: Everything You Need to Know
In this 30-minute talk, the authors take an in-depth look at how to debrief high-fidelity case-based simulation sessions, including discussion on debriefing theory, goals, approaches, and structure, as well as ways to create a supportive and safe learning environment, resulting in successful small group learning and self-reflection. Emphasis is placed on the “debriefing with good judgment” approach. Video clips of sample debriefing attempts, highlighting the “dos and don’ts” of simulation debriefing, are included. The goal of this talk is to provide you with the necessary tools and information to develop a successful and effective debriefing approach. There is a bibliography and a quick reference guide in Data Supplements S1 and S2 (available as supporting information in the online version of this paper).

This lecture can be viewed in its entirety online when you click the video above or click here.
