Thank you for participating in Help Save Stan on March 2, 2020.  It promises to be an amazing day filled with Interprofessional learning.  You are the point person for our facilitators, and as such, play a very important role in helping the event to run smoothly.  In advance of event day, you will contact facilitators with information about the following:

• a copy of the Coordinator/Facilitator Simulation Guide

In-Person Facilitator Training Workshops
Sim Coordinators are asked to teach at least one Facilitator Training Workshop.  You will be contacted to see if this is possible.  If you have never taught the workshops before, please come anyway. We are happy to mentor you into this role. 
 
Event day information
 
​As a Sim Coordinator on event day, you are responsible for room and equipment set up, and then observing facilitators as they do briefing, deploying sims, and then debriefing learners. During the simulations, you will observe and provide feedback to facilitators, making note of behaviours that support interprofessional communication, collaboration, and role clarification grounded in the CIHC National IPE Competencies. These observations are used as discussion points in the feedback session.  Feedback sessions are short (3-4 minutes). 

Your role is vital.  Should any unforeseen circumstances arise, and you are unable to make it, please contact us immediately at ihepsavestan@gmail.com
