Session 1 - Introduction to human factors and the theoretical framework supporting simulation

Online

This series has five sessions. Up until the commencement of the first session on 11 October 2025, all 5 Sessions can be purchased at a discounted rate. After the first session, tickets can be purchased for each individual session.

Who should attend?

Consultants and specialists in emergency medicine with an interest in being simulation faculty who are looking to set up their own simulation centers or to improve existing simulation practices. 

Learning objectives

1. Understanding of how medical education theories utilize simulation as a means of teaching human factors. 
2. Understanding of the requirements for setting up a low/hi fidelity simulation center. 
3. Ability to write simulation scenarios with consideration for the objectives and assessment criteria. 
4. Ability to run simulation scenarios in low/hi fidelity centers. 
5. Understanding of various debriefing techniques and how to flexibly apply the correct one for each scenario.
