Thank you for contributing to SimBox.
Individuals participating in content development will be recognized on the SimBox site and can work with the team to explore additional opportunities for scholarship/peer review.
How can I contribute content/cases to telesimbox/simbox?
Contact marc.auerbach@yale.edu to inform him of your interest/intent.
​
How do I get started on creating a case?
​
IDOTO- it depends on the objectives!
​
What are the objectives related to the clinical case/topic?
​
Using KERN process
-
perform
-
general needs assessment for problem identification
-
targeted needs assessment (discussion with learners)
-
-
literature review and review of existing educational materials
-
identify gaps in care
-
identify potential impact on patient
-
identify current approaches to training
Work to create level-specific objectives for learner groups: refer to milestones or procedure requirements.
To date objectives relate to:
-
knowledge (medical management, physiology, equipment)
-
skills (teamwork/communication, family/patient communication),
-
attitudes (confidence in pediatrics)
Using the template:
​
1. Familiarize yourself with the SimBox concept by running an existing case
2. Identify
-
your targeted learner(s):
-
practice setting (EMS, ED, inpatient)
-
level of experience (students, residents, faculty).
3. Create lists of
-
potential goals (2-3)
-
measurable learning objectives (6-9)
4. Match 4-6 measurable goals and objectives to match the SimBox educational strategies
This is an opportunity for team experiential learning + reflective debriefing +/- hands-on experiences.
To date objectives relate to:
-
knowledge (medical management, physiology, equipment)
-
skills (teamwork/communication, family/patient communication),
-
attitudes (confidence in pediatrics)
5. Create simulation case with SimBox template to meet learning objectives:
Use SimBox format of
-
initial handoff communication,
-
descriptions of visual/video of the patient
-
vital signs with trends over time
-
images/videos of patient over time
-
parent script, nurse/embedded participant script
-
prompt to hand off at end of case
6. Create debrief facts page with content related to each learning objective to facilitate discussion.
7. Work with SimBox team to create/curate post-simulation resources to send to learners for additional reading, listening, learning (podcasts, websites, articles, videos, etc.)
8. Work with SimBox team to create/ the video/vitals/app etc. to match the script described above
9. Implement the case with a selected group of learners and collect feedback from facilitator and debriefers.
10. Iteratively improve/adapt steps 4-6 until ready for dissemination through SimBox website.
HAVE FUN!
