IMPROV FOR DEBRIEFING: This week on DJ Simulationistas, Dan & Janice return from an improvisation training workshop and examine whether the training they received could help with general debriefing skills. Also: eliminating "blocks" from your simulation, establishing identity and role clarity, expressing your "inner monologue" in a crisis, and more!

Episode 039: Can Improv Training Improve Your Debriefing?

DJ Simulationistas… Sup? is the flagship podcast of the Center for Medical Simulation in Boston, Massachusetts. Janice Palaganas and Dan Raemer, CMS faculty and thought leaders in the field of healthcare simulation, discuss the pressing issues in the field, interview expert guests, tell jokes, and dissemble on a variety of topics. Subscribe today for a new episode every week! Available on iTunes, Soundcloud, or wherever podcast babies come from.

Founded in 1993, the Center for Medical Simulation was one of the world's first healthcare simulation centers and continues to be a global leader in the field. Simulation training at CMS gives healthcare providers a new and enlightening perspective on how to handle real medical situations. Through high-fidelity scenarios that simulate genuine crisis management situations, the CMS experience can open new chapters in the level of healthcare quality that participants provide.

Professor Mohammed Mouhaoui joins Lon Setnik and James Lipshaw from the Center for Medical Simulation to discuss the history of the HTIC simulation in Morocco. Lon visited the Moroccan Simulation Society in Fès in 2024 as a speaker and shares his experience meeting Prof. Mouhaoui and with the Moroccan sim community.

Join the reconvened Center for Medical Simulation Book Club as we discuss Amy Edmondson's excellent "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well." Featuring Roxane Gardner, Grace Ng, Jenny Rudolph, Chris Roussin, Lon Setnik, Laura Gay Majerus, James Lipshaw, Henrique Arantes, Hannah Lawn, Melissa White, Saqib Dara, and Lia Cruz.

In this episode: A mildly spicy conversation around using outcomes to determine if we've failed. When should we use the retrospect-oscope to determine whether we did a good job? Does it matter more that we land the jump or that we took the right steps to set it up? Two obvious lessons learned from the new era of college sports: You need to a) develop your people over time and then b) pay them enough that they stay.

In this week's Brief Debriefing, past and current participants in the Center for Medical Simulation's Healthcare Simulation Essentials course (https://harvardmedsim.org/course/healthcare-simulation-essentials-design-and-debriefing/) reflect on how the course has changed their approaches to partnership building and teaching in their own organizations. Hosted by James Lipshaw, Center for Medical Simulation, and featuring Melissa White, Hannah Lawn, and Gabriella Hakim.

Brief Debriefings #014: New Perspectives on Teaching & Learning

Not every simulation center has a readiness plan in place for onboarding new simulation staff, particularly those without clinical experience. At CMS, we begin by having our new staff participate as learners in our weeklong Healthcare Simulation Essentials course, immersing them in our teaching and debriefing strategies. In this week's Brief Debriefing, we're speaking with Jenny Bourque and Sam Huang, respectively our new Education Coordinator and Simulation Technician, to learn from their perspective and experience as newcomers to simulation but experts in their own fields at the end of their 5 day course. Enjoy!
