Presidential Panel Co-Sponsored by EDHP: Simulations and the Use of Advanced Learning Technologies to Facilitate Health Professions Education

• In Event: Presidential Panel Co-Sponsored by Education in Health Profession (SIG)

Short Description

Experts will characterize the spectrum of simulations being used to facilitate learning and human performance across health professions, and discuss key challenges and opportunities for designing, delivering, and evaluating simulation-based training and education. The discussant will identify both shared and potentially differing values, beliefs, and practices across professions, comment based on his own expertise in the application of advanced learning technologies, and facilitate a discussion among panelists and the audience.
