▪ Allow learners to complete preparation activities in advance of the SBE to reinforce previous learning and prepare learners for success. ▪ Consider establishing consequences for management of learners attending the simulation experience without having completed the preparation requirements. ▪ Consider additional preparatory activities on the day of the SBE such as a facilitated discussion or student planning session prior to beginning the simulation. ▪ Discuss logistical factors such as: length of scenario, debriefing expectations, times for breaks, location of facilities, agenda for the day. ▪ Use a written or recorded prebriefing plan to standardize the process and content for each scenario/case. ▪ A written or recorded prebriefing plan should be required for SBEs used for high-stakes or summative evaluations. ▪ Identify expectations and roles for the learner and the simulationist including ground rules and a fiction contract. ▪ Provide information related to the use of recording equipment and observations by others (peers, faculty, facilitators, staff, health professionals, administrators). ▪ Review the evaluation methods being used for this experience and notify learners when they can expect to receive the measurement tools. ▪ Orient learners to all technology that will be used during the experience such as manikins, virtual learning environments, screen-based learning, or commercial learning products, and provide guidance if they require technology assistance during the experience. ▪ Establish a psychologically safe environment to ensure the learners feel comfortable expressing thoughts without feeling uncomfortable or fearing negative consequences. ▪ Incorporate activities that help establish an environment of integrity, trust, and respect. ▪ Discuss confidentiality and professionalism. ▪ Prevent defensive behavior and support risk taking which develops learning and professional identity.
Plan the delivery of preparation materials both prior to and on the day of the simulation-based experience.
Prior to the simulation-based experience, the simulationist conveys important information to learners regarding expectations, the agenda, and the logistics for the experience.
Conduct a structured orientation to the SBE environment including the modality.
Establish a psychologically safe learning environment during the prebriefing.
