The Center for Medical Simulation

LOCALIZATION: Dan & Janice are joined at IMSH 2019 by Paul Phrampus, Dan's fellow former President of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, to talk about his experience consulting on simulation and debriefing programs around the world. Enjoy!

HINDSIGHT BIAS: Dan & Janice investigate whether video or writing is more effective for post-event reflection. Also: Staying down the ladder of inference, skimming the surface of frames, and more. Enjoy!

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: This week, Dan & Janice take on the fundamental battles of order vs. chaos, and sprawling creativity vs. rigid organization. Also: Dan's manager jealousy, being philosophically ambidextrous, and the stunning complexity of interpersonal interactions. Enjoy!

SIMULATION RASHOMON: Dan & Janice explore what special techniques to bring to your debriefing when you didn't observe the event yourself, particularly when you are hearing conflicting reports about what happened. Enjoy!

"NO MARGIN, NO MISSION": Jenny Rudolph joins Dan & Janice to talk the logistics of keeping a sim center running, adjusting to the changing field of healthcare, & moving your agenda forward no matter the context of your center.

FINDING BALANCE: Roxane Gardner joins Dan & Janice to tell the story of how a tension pneumothorax changed her life and her perspective on medicine. Also: obstetrical simulation through history from 18th century France to virtual reality. Enjoy!

SIM PARTNERSHIPS: "We don't want to compete with people. We want to help people." Robert Simon joins Dan & Janice to talk sim affiliations, the qualities of a good partnership, and moving team agendas forward. Enjoy!

TOO MUCH FUN? Dan & Janice examine the question of whether simulations are allowed to be "fun." Also: abandoning prebriefing scripts, normalizing anxiety, and breaking preconceived notions about simulation. Enjoy!

SPEAK UP SCIENCE: Melanie Barlow joins Dan & Janice to discuss her PhD research on the science of speaking up. Also: new naming conventions in healthcare, how to "receive" speaking up, the difference between speaking up & feedback conversations, and moving beyond mandates to give concrete steps. Enjoy!

FUTURE OF THE MANNEQUIN: Bas Oei, a surgeon from the Netherlands and a CMS visiting scholar, joins Dan & Janice to discuss his PhD work combining virtual avatars with mannequins to increase the fidelity of simulation. Enjoy!

FAKING IT: Dan & Janice explore learning how to empathize, and how to show genuine respect for the learner. Also: skills vs. job requirements, consequences for unkind practitioners, and the preservation and destruction of trust. Enjoy!

NEW ALGORITHM: Talking drug research & the new ACLS guidelines with Dan Raemer & Janice Palaganas. Also this week: the half life of facts, and balancing speed with thoughtfulness in critical care decision-making. Enjoy!

WORKSHOPS: Dan & Janice prep for conference season by discussing cutting extraneous workshops, shocking the audience, creating practice forums, and what to do when someone hates the workshop you gave. Enjoy!

MISCOMMUNICATION: Dan returns from vacation to join Janice in a household human factors error root cause analysis. Also: Janice plays counselor, getting over being cryptic, and the safety of formed teams versus fixed teams. Enjoy!

FEEDBACK ACROSS CULTURES: Tim Brake joins Janice to discuss initial encounters in bringing debriefing to a global audience. Plus: antagonistic speaking up, breaking the safe container, & "global dexterity" in working with an international team. Enjoy!

SIMULATION GAMES: Dr. Vinay Nadkarni joins Janice in our second guest week to discuss simwars and simulation games, having just returned from judging the Italian Pediatric Simulation Games, a weeklong national simulation competition. They discuss fostering inter-hospital competition, positive results from ad-hoc teams, and much more. Enjoy!

HEALTHCARE SILOS: Angela Aristidou joins a solo Janice Palaganas (Dan is on vacation) to discuss her research around healthcare silos, organizational behavior, and more!

MODEL TEACHERS: This week on DJ Simulationistas, Dan & Janice explore the elements that make a model teacher, including mental models & frames, personalities, and more. Also: what is the best teaching you've ever gotten from a non-teacher, and how can you synthesize it into your own teaching? Enjoy!

FEEDBACK LOOPS: This week, Dan & Janice explore "feedback peace of mind" and how to achieve it. Also: making difficult conversations work online, transformative teaching on feedback, and overcoming discomfort to help your students grow. Enjoy!

DAN-CENTENNIAL: Birthday boy Dan Raemer shares lessons from the last year of simulation, where he has continued to learn new things. Also: how history comes to be, bringing your life experience to simulation, and putting a pelvis in backwards. Enjoy!

ONE YEAR OF DJ SIMULATIONISTAS: It's the DJ Sim 1 year, 50 Episode special! Join Dr. Dan Raemer, Dr. Janice Palaganas, & DJ Simulationistas producer / CMS Instructional Designer James Lipshaw as they model feedback conversations, share simulation anecdotes, analyze what we've been getting wrong and right, and set course for the next 50 episodes. Enjoy!

SIM STORIES: While we prepare for our one-year-anniversary, special episode #50 spectacular next week, enjoy two new hilarious simulation stories from Dan & Janice about simulations gone wrong. Have fun, and make sure to stop in next week for episode #50!

This podcast is a joint venture between CMS and Simulcast. Listen to more from Simulcast at http://www.simulationpodcast.com. Victoria Brazil: Translational Simulation Since the start of the modern simulation era, many in the healthcare simulation community have taken a “Field of Dreams” approach to our simulation efforts, believing, like the character Ray Kinsella in the movie of the same name, t...

THE SCIENCE OF TEAMS: Join the CMS crew as we discuss 5 articles from American Psychologist which can improve how your teams function! Research questions include: is an ad hoc team or an established one more safe for speaking up? Do western assumptions about how teams should function transfer to other cultures? What are the institutional influences on teamwork? Does face-to-face conferencing matte...

TELEMEDICINE: Special guest Dr. Clement Buleon, as well as a secret surprise guest, joins Dan and Janice to discuss new innovations in telemedicine, and how to use simulation to train providers to use it. Auscultation, EKGs, and even some invasive procedures can now be performed remotely... so who is training healthcare providers to use these systems? Enjoy!
