In this podcast we focus on arguably the most important part of the simulation experience—the debriefing phase. We’ll strive to understand structured simulation debriefings, and delve into relevant topics including the necessity for debriefings from an educational standpoint, how to create a safe learning environment, how to structure the debriefing, how to practically deal with different challenging learner types, the parallels between simulation and clinical care, and maybe even a little on differences between anticholinergic and sympathomimetic toxicities.
Demian Szyld, MD, EdM is a practicing Emergency Medicine physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and current Senior Director for the Institute for Medical Simulation, Center for Medical Simulation, in Boston Massachusetts.
