Objectives and competences

This course is an innovative programme that seeks to meet the needs of students interested in setting out on their journey into the world of simulation. This programme, which consists of theoretical foundations module and a practical module, breaks with traditional structures and provides more in-depth training, far removed from reductionists approaches. At the end of the course you will be able to autonomously plan, design, execute and evaluate a learning experience based on simulation with all its elements (pre-briefing, scenario, debriefing)

Objectives and competences

Objectives

- To gain an introduction into the world of simulation through its theoretical and practical foundations.
- To acquire more in-depth initial training that breaks from traditional structures and is far removed from reductionist approaches.
-To be capable of independently planning, designing and evaluating a simulation-based learning experience including all of the stages (pre-briefing, scenario, debriefing) based on international standards and the most recent scientific evidence.
- To acquire a solid conceptual basis with which to understand what simulation is, to know its modalities and objectives, to become familiar with the SimZones organizational model, to understand the different types of feedback one can use (feedback and debriefing) and to gain a basic understanding of the concepts of patient safety and teamwork.

Access and admission
