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.

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!

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.

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.
