"Please Hold for Technical Difficulties": Accidental monitor arrhythmia, mannequin head on fire, powerpoint on the fritz... What do you do when a technical problem threatens to derail your simulation or your debriefing?

SimFails #014: "Please Hold for Technical Difficulties"

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.

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!

Brief Debriefings #013: Onboarding Non-Clinical Teams into Simulation

What to do when your debriefing gets dragged off-track by someone who was supposed to be on your side? Join us this week for more SimFails... and Other Conversations from the Sim Sofa.

SimFails #016: Not So Co-Debriefing

This CMS Grand Rounds features Susan Eller, Komal Bajaj, and Jenny Rudolph, moderated by James Lipshaw. The speakers discuss the article "Leading change in practice: how "longitudinal prebriefing" nurtures and sustains in situ simulation programs," written by authors Stephanie Barwick, Sarah Janssens, and today's three speakers.
