Facilitators create safe learning spaces for participants before, during, and after all simulation scenarios with a focus on impactful debriefing.
Who can be a Help Save Stan facilitator?
What kind of training is needed?
The prerequisite to facilitating at Help Save Stan is the completion of one online module and attendance of one 2-hour Facilitator Training workshop. Both are free of charge. Upon completing your registration, you will be automatically sent on online link via email with full event details.
Our 2 hour Facilitator Training in-person workshops are lead by facilitators with hands-on experience and a proven track record in interprofessional health education. Our facilitation workshop will teach you how to; help your students communicate, how to recognize the needs of a team, and how to work respectfully and efficiently with other healthcare professionals. This workshop focuses on using the Advocacy-Inquiry method of debriefing and providing facilitators with experience debriefing interdisciplinary teamwork and communication skills. Debriefing in this way is often distinct from debriefing simulation focusing on unidisciplinary clinical skills. Instructions for how to sign up for the online module and confirmation of the workshop date will be sent after registering.
What do Facilitators do at Help Save Stan?
Facilitators are responsible for briefing, deploying, and then debriefing learners within a Sim-IPE experience. During the simulation, Facilitators make note of the behaviours that support interprofessional communication, collaboration, and role clarification. These notes are then used as discussion points in the debrief.
Following the simulation, facilitators will engage in a discussion (debriefing of the debriefing) with the Simulation Coordinator. The Simulation Coordinator will provide you with feedback on your debriefing skills and make any suggestions on how to refocus on teamwork and communication competencies for the next simulation.
