Dehradun, 22 Aug: The Department of Medical Education, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Jollygrant, organised a “Healthcare Simulation Training of Trainers Workshop” on 16- 17 August at its Skills & Simulation Centre of Excellence.
The workshop was inaugurated by Dr Vijendra D Chauhan, Director General (Academics), Dr Ashok K Deorari, Principal, Himalayan College of Medical Sciences, and Dr Renu Dhasmana, Vice Principal, HIMS.
After the formal introduction of Participants and Faculty, Dr Sanober Wasim explained the agenda and objectives of the workshop.
Dr Ashok K Deorari explained the importance of Simulation in Medical Education. Dr Rashmi Ramachandran, from AIIMS, New Delhi, briefed about components of Simulation Session. Dr Anu Sachdeva from AIIMS, New Delhi, provided introduction to zones and types of simulation and Dr Shalini Rao from AIIMS, Rishikesh, explained the application of adult learning principles in the simulated environment. Dr Sanober Wasim gave a briefing on teaching skills using simulations. Dr Farhanul Huda explained how to get realism in simulation, while Dr Rashmi Ramachandran explained teaching crisis management using simulation. Dr Rakesh Kumar give a briefing on in situ simulation and Dr Rajesh Kumar Sharma explained systems check using simulation.
Post lunch, different workstations of simulation were setup. The first station being how to use manikins and task trainers for teaching simple and complex skills by Dr Smriti Arora and Dr Sanober. The second station was related to Moulage techniques to improve fidelity by Dr Shalini Rao and Dr Farhanul Huda. The third station was Hi-Fidelity simulator- Demo of a scenario by Dr Anu Sachdeva, and the last station showed using apps and innovative techniques to improve fidelity by Dr Rakesh Kumar and Dr Rajesh Sharma.
On day 2, Dr Rashmi Ramachandran gave a lecture on Beyond Simulation: The Power of Debriefing in Medical Education. Dr Farhanul Huda discussed Demo of types of Debriefing. Then, 4 simulation sessions (breakout room) were setup where moderators let participants perform debriefing.
