Debriefing Skills for Simulation Instructor Course (DSSI)

Debriefing Skills for Simulation Instructors (DSSI) course is aimed to provide the essential knowledge and skills to develop learners’ competence in debriefing methods commonly used in simulation training. In this course, the participant will experience the energy of a simulated scenario and learn how the event is transformed into a learning experience.  The participant will learn how to facilitate a simulation training course, and to apply different methods of debriefing.  At the end of the course, the participants will have the basic knowledge and skills to facilitate a simulation-based training course.  

This course is suitable for those who wish to learn how to use simulation-based learning, participate running a simulated scenario, and to apply the techniques of debriefing and feedback as a tool in teaching adult learners.  The primary audience is healthcare professionals who would like to start simulation-based teaching in their field.  Enrolment is accepted now for all batches of the Course by submitting your registration form and cheque to us on or before respective deadlines.

DSSI is a two-day course for healthcare professionals who would like to start simulation-based teaching in their field. DSSI will be held at ILCM and scheduled as follows in 2019:

Courses dates	Application Deadlines
23 – 24 November 2019	23 October 2019

Comprehensive Simulation Educator Course (CSEC)

The Comprehensive Simulation Educator Course (CSEC) aims to provide the essential knowledge, and develop learners’ competence, in planning a simulation-based education activity, scenario development, direction, execution and debriefing methods. This course will enable the participants to have an understanding of the basic concepts of learner-centred education. 

Different types of simulators and simulation techniques, and their respective applications will be covered to provide the participants with the resources for their teaching purposes. At the end of the course, the participants will have the basic knowledge and skill to plan and run a simulation-based training course, develop the necessary training material, direct a scenario and debrief the learners on the learning objectives. The course also intends to cultivate interest and passion in simulation-based education, and learners are provided with different methods to maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills in simulation-based education.

CSEC will be held at ILCM and scheduled as follows in 2019:

Courses dates	Application Deadlines	Application Deadline (for College nomination)
5 – 8 September 2019 (Thur – Sun)	5 August 2019	5 August 2019
