BACKGROUND
Simulation and IPE
Simulation learning defined as: replacement of real patient encounters with either standardized patients or technologies that replicate the clinical scenario (Oduda et al., 2009)
Viewed as an important educational strategy in healthcare for teaching essential knowledge & skills (Cheng, Palangas, et al., 2015)
In IPE context provides an opportunity for students to collaborate with IP peers in a non-threatening environment (Baker et al., 2008)
Enables students to develop clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills (Baker et al., 2008)

Role of debriefing as a learning tool in simulation based learning for students of preclinical](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071210/6021ea7f80bde059956ff03a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
BACKGROUND Role of Facilitators in Simulation Learning
Simulation most valuable when learner encouraged to reflect, analyze, and make sense of the experience (Zigmont, Kappus, & Sudikoff, 2011).
Facilitator-led debriefing provides an optimal learning experience through reflection and is considered the most important part of simulation (Ali et al., 2015)
Facilitators have a vital role in debriefing, but limited experience in debriefing interprofessional students (Jaye, Thomas, & Reedy, 2015)
Research in IPE has traditionally focused on the learner’s perspective but little is
known about the facilitators’ perceptions or experiences (Lindqvist & Reeves, 2007)

Scenarios of the IPE Simulation Session
• Social worker (with 3 students) • Patient (with 3 students) • Family member (with 3 students) • Team planning meeting (all 6-7 students) • Meeting with patient and family (all 6-7 students) All students participate (active participant assuming own professional role, or as observer)

PREPARATION OF FACILITATORS
Accredited 3 hour IPE Faculty Development Workshop
To prepare faculty for their facilitator role & become familiar with the simulation activity.
Faculty observe, discuss and practice how to promote interprofessional discussion.
Faculty assume their facilitator role with “students” who are trained actors who provide an authentic representation of what facilitators are likely to encounter.
Benefits: expanding faculty’s debriefing repertoire, increasing comfort level, peer coaching and
support.
