Simulated patient and learner for consultant workshop

Today the department organised a meeting for consultants, they joined together for a review for teaching methods, from an inspiration from another colleague, how to give a good feedback to the trainees, how to supervise your trainees during a procedure and finally what a good reflection from our learners should be.

The sample of what happened during the day is available in the following link, it started with a volunteer to supervise a simulated doctor trainee to perform a simple procedure, but it went out a nightmare because of a simulated patient. Enjoy the show.

Supervision

Simulation Class of group 15/2555

From last Wednesday, October 3rd 2555, the students of the group 15 were with us to their class of simulation. Staff of the day was so energetic and played an important role.

The introduction period: Time to review the physical examination, abnormal auscultation both cardiac murmurs and adventitious breath sounds.

I do not listen to you now, because you do have to listen to me, you have to do whatever you need to in order to save my mom's life. The scene in the class, the situations ran, the flow of action followed.

Debriefing : Time to appreciate what students had done something good, time to reconsider if there was something went out from the normal way, so that the learners can educate themselves and understand why sometimes it had to learn from failure.

Although they were not the team member during the scenerio, but they had discussed what went wrong with the monitoring and what should have done to pull our patient back.

The action by our Staff in Chief, she had done many things, rearranged the scene, asked technician and secretary to participate with the show.

Today Simulation Class

The climate of learning for today simulation learning in our department was so fun, because the anaesthesia consultant in charge had tried her best for the teaching process. She initiated the thinking process and encouraged the learners to think, although it may be both tricks and treats, but overall the session was good, and we would like to thank you our consultant to make such a good teaching and learning day.

One Medical student Response to an Incident

From a 5th year Med Student response in an essay examination about a nurse call asking you to evaluate and manage a patient with BP 84/50, RR 30, and loss of consciousness, she told you that it was the time to record the patient's vital signs after 1 hour interval in the immediate postoperative period. 

He said :
1. Understand the situation: make a short list of the main problems waiting now: unconscious, hypotension, tachypnoea
2. Gathering an essential information
- more patient history : anything important for a diagnosis
- physical examination : especially the consciousness and the CVS 
3. Make a likely diagnosis: because hypovolaemic shock had to be ruled out then surgical site should be assessed
4. Management to the appropriate diagnosis and re-evaluate again whether or not the treatment given is working

Good, isn't it?
