About this course
MSF
FIELD SIMULATION offers different courses in TEMBO to learn about different
modalities of simulation and its field application. These courses will allow
you to hone your knowledge on how to plan, prepare, facilitate, and evaluate
simulation activities with the aim to contributing to the improvement of SAFETY
AND QUALITY of MSF's medical humanitarian efforts. We’ve organised them into
the four following Learning Spaces within TEMBO, each of one contains
different courses:
- Introduction to Simulation for
Quality and Safety Care Improvement
- Simulation for Competence Training
- Simulation to Improve Real-World
Processes, Plans, and Systems.
Management
of a Simulation Program. IMPORTANT
The INTRODUCTION
and FACILITATOR SKILLS courses included in the “Introduction to Simulation for Safety and
Quality Care Improvement” space are compulsory to
access this simulation learning space.
This simulation learning space, “Simulation
for Competence Training,” includes five courses on how simulation is applied to
DEVELOP and MAINTAIN key competencies among medical and non-medical staff.
- Zone 0
- Zone 1
- Low-Dose High-Frequency
- Zone 2
- Zone 3
Each course will explore the details of
PREPARING, FACILITATING, and EVALUATING simulation activities. You will deepen
your understanding of what it is and how to apply the Simzone framework related
to competence development. Simulation zones for competence development range
from acquiring purely technical skills to leadership and team performance
skills.
REMEMBER: You have two
options to learn about simulation:
Option 1: Create
your own personalized learning pathway in simulation.
Option 2: Follow
a certified learning pathway.
In this space of
“Simulation for Competence Training” you can complete three different learning pathways
by combining one or more of the courses:
- Pathway 1: Fundamental
Skills Development (Zone o, Zone 1 and LDHF)
- Pathway 2: Complex and/or
critical skills training (Zone 2)
- Pathway 3: Enhancing team
performance (Zone 3)
Target audience
Health and logistical staff: nurses, doctors,
logisticians, watsans, medical or log managers, team leaders, Mobile Support
Technicians, technical referents, and specialists wishing to become clinical
simulation facilitators
Duration
There are five courses that address competence development according to the Simzone framework.
Each course in this space contains three main parts: theoretical content, practice, and design.
- The average duration for the first two parts (theoretical and practice) is about 3hours for each course.
- The third part of the design, which is optional, has a duration of 2 hours and 30 minutes in average for each course.
- At the end of the courses, you will find a tutorial on “how to read simulation scenario template” for each zone.
If you want to cover all the five courses, which is not compulsory, you will need a total of around 30 hours.
Learning objectives
The 5 courses are:
- Simulation
Zone 0 course to build technical skills.
- Simulation
Zone 1 course to learn protocols and algorithms.
- LOW DOSE
HIGH FREQUENCY (LDHF) course to enhance and maintain technical competences.
- Simulation
Zone 2 course to develop skills to manage critical and complex situations.
- Simulation Zone 3 course to develop leadership skills
and improve team performance.
At the end of each course,
participants will be able to:
- Explain the potential of
the specific zone covered in each course.
- Recognise the structure and
the signal and noise of the specific zone covered in each course.
- Recognise
the facilitation, feedback, and debriefing techniques for the specific zone
covered in each course.
Each course has an added unit on “How to read simulation
scenario template“, and a complementary and optional unit about “Design.”
The Design unit will allow you to understand
the DESIGN for zone 0, zone 1, zone 2, and zone 3. This specific part of DESIGN
is optional, and participants will be able to:
- explain essential elements when designing new
cases in each of the zones.
- recognize and properly define need analysis and
objectives.
- identify core
elements that trigger learning.
List of contents
For
each simulation ZONE COURSE the content will be related to:
- Target
objectives and participants.
- The
specific noise and signal.
- The structure
of the session.
- Scenario
facilitation and specificities.
- The
specific feedback and debriefing techniques.
- The design principles
for the specific zone.
Methodology
E-learning modules with readings, videos,
and practical exercises, including feedback.
All simulation courses are
designed for self-directed learning. So, we recommend that participants have paper
and pen ready or open a new document write down their thoughts and ideas throughout
the course.
Evaluation
To obtain the theory badge for each course, learners
must complete and submit all the content, practical activities, and a final
short quiz with a minimum of 70% correct answers.
Certification
Each COURSE in the SIMULATION FOR COMPETENCE TRAINING SPACE
is an autonomous learning unit that allows you to earn a THEORETICAL and a DESIGN
BADGE.
- THEORY BADGE for each course: To
obtain the theory badge, you must complete the online content of each of the
courses and a short quiz at the end. This quiz can be repeated if the pass mark
is not achieved on the first attempt (min 70% of correct answers).
- DESIGN BADGE for each course: To obtain the design badge, you must complete the
design module in each one of the courses and a quiz at the end. This quiz can be
repeated if the pass mark is not achieved on the first attempt (min 70% of
correct answers).
In addition to the badges, a
specific ONLINE ACHIEVEMENT CERTIFICATE can be obtained when following the
certified pathways.. Go to Pathway Information Document for more information
Requirements/Pre-requisites
Access first to the “Introduction to Simulation for Safety and Quality Improvement” space
and complete the
courses INTRODUCTION and FACILITATORS SKILLS.
An
adequate English level is essential to understand each of the courses (minimum
B2).
An internet connection is recommended to ensure optimal content quality;
however, the course has been designed to function offline as well.Enrolment
With its courses, this space has self-enrolment access with key access you will be able to have once the course "Simulation: an Introduction for Safety and Quality Improvement" is completed.
