Moulage in Healthcare Simulation and Medical Terminology
Facilitators: Tom Hallahan and Tess Vawser Organisation: Victorian Simulation Alliance & Epworth Hospital
Overview: Realism in simulation is something highly sought after by simulation educators and those to ensure engagement of learners and the fidelity of scenarios. This workshop will introduce you to simple and cost-effective techniques of moulage as applied to healthcare simulations. It will provide you with many useful ‘tips and tricks’ and introduce you to commonly used medical terms that may be unfamiliar to non-clinical staff.
Audience: All those working in simulation An Introduction to Case Studies, Role-Play and Simulation in the Health and Community Services
Facilitator: A/Prof Debra Kiegaldie Organisation: Victorian Simulation Alliance, Holmesglen Institute & Healthscope Australia
Overview: Simulation as a teaching method is well established in the healthcare sector but is relatively new in community services. A simulation can start as a simple written case study to reflect a problem situation from life or be a role-play where learners can take on their own role or that of another person similar to real life. An immersive simulation is a scenario that includes a manikin or trained simulated participant (either a client, family member or professional worker). Regardless of the type, all simulations evoke aspects of the real world in an interactive fashion where there are high levels of engagement on the part of the learner.
This introductory workshop will provide you with the opportunity to increase your knowledge of the scope of simulation methods that can be used within health, community and social services teaching.
Audience: All those new to simulation in health and community services
