Medical Simulation: From Training of manual Skills to Training of high Performance Teams

SESAME's Annual Meeting is designed for health care professionals, educators, scientists, and representatives of administration and industry with a common interest in new advancements in medical simulation for the benefit of increased patient safety.

The host for the meeting this year, the Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation at Huddinge University Hospital, is a multi-professional co-venture for (among others) orthopaedic surgeons, general surgeons, anaesthetists, internal medicine physicians, engineers, psychologists and students. Using our experience, we hope that the 10th Annual Meeting will be a meeting place for a wide range of medical disciplines. We therefore welcome representatives for all modalities of simulation applied in the medical field. We believe that the interaction between participants using full-scale simulation and participants using part-task trainers will elucidate new aspects of training techniques, learning psychology, and evaluation methods.

Meeting Objectives

  • Provide an educational and research forum for the medical simulator community
  • Provide opportunities for hands-on learning using various models of simulators
  • Provide a forum on learning psychology as base for simulation training
  • Provide a forum on evaluation methods applicable in the wide field of medical simulation
  • Present current research in use of simulation for medical education of health care professionals

The meeting will benefit any health care educator interested in learning psychology and the future application of simulation in the medical curriculum. Workshop sessions are planned to allow small group access to a variety of simulators and to participate in discussions on simulator model scenarios currently being used by medical educators.
