Title: Design Your Own Simulation

Name of Presenters: Reem Alyoubi, Jo Jo Leung, Ali Mehdizadeh

Instructor: Dr Helen Batty
Topic Content Area: Advanced Teaching Strategies
Intended Audience: INTAPT Spring 2015
Workshop Goal:
To introduce participants to the background and use of simulation in medical education as well as
how to design and run simulations.
Objectives:
Participants will:
- Be able to describe the history of simulation and it's applications in medical education
- Design their own simulation sessions
- Increase awareness in how to make sessions effective by finding resources, managing time and
accepting feedback
