Leading and Influencing Change in CPD

10: Simulation-Based CPD

Simulation-based medical education is increasingly being utilized in CPD to facilitate performance improvement. Technology has advanced such that the tools available for simulation range from simple task trainers to use of high-fidelity and virtual reality simulators. Though case studies, we will explore the range of technology-enhanced simulation and discuss how these tools can be used to address a variety of competencies for the individual (e.g. procedural skills, decision analysis) and collective competencies for the healthcare team to achieve higher learning outcomes.
