PROP Simulation Workshops

This component of PROP is Simulation Workshop. It is a learning experience and hands on skills to provide opportunities to manage and treat specific medical conditions. It also allows teams to learn about effective communication and role division. Studies have found that up to 80% of all medical errors are due to team skills as opposed to deficits in medical knowledge. This Simulation workshop hopes to combat this issue.


Each PROP Simulation Workshop is comprised of multiple scenarios. Each scenario has a dedicated amount of time for the participants to assess and treat the patient. After the scenario is complete, there is a debrief which allows participants to lead a conversation about what went well, what could be improved upon, changes they want to make in the future, and much more.


Target Audience: Any medical facility or hospitals in the region caring for paediatric population.

 

By bringing the mannequins and all necessary gears to these hospitals, this half or full day program allows for the most accurate learning, within learner's own facility.

Testimonials

Through 2017 to 2020, PROP travelled to hospitals throughout Ontario (e.g., Stratford, Ingersoll, Cambridge) to provide simulation workshops. The learners participated in various scenarios, including lunch-time lecture.

​

This is what they had to say:

“The scenarios were awesome the instructors were patient and knowledgeable and gave great feedback without making the staff feel stupid”

"The Simulation Centre at LHSC has been an excellent educational experience for myself as a paediatric resident. I have learned a great deal through participation in multiple interactive, hands-on sim sessions over the course of my program. As learners it is important for us to prepare for high acuity clinical scenarios. The Simulation Centre provides a supported, safe and realistic environment for this. The use of high-fidelity child and infant mannequins have allowed the creation of very realistic situations that we may encounter in our daily practice. In conjunction with highly supportive and engaged faculty, the Simulation Centre continues to provide invaluable experiences for myself and other medical trainees!"

“Stressful situations allowed me to test and reinforce my knowledge and recognize how errors occur.”

 “The simulation gave me an opportunity to participate in high acuity, low occurrence and in a very safe learning environment.”
