The Gateway Debriefing Skills Workshop
The Center for Medical Simulation has developed an introductory debriefing workshop for healthcare educators titled “The Gateway Debriefing Workshop – An Introduction to Debriefing with Good Judgement.” This introductory workshop introduces healthcare education faculty to the foundational practices of the “Debriefing with Good Judgment” © method of debriefing. It combines a one day immersive in-person learning experience with online learning that includes customized peer to peer and mentor feedback.
Designed For Busy Healthcare Educators
Designed for the busy healthcare educator with limited time, the Gateway Debriefing Workshop immerses participants in the deliberate practice of debriefing. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn how to efficiently improve their debriefing performance
- Learn how to set high standards while holding high regard for the learner
- Treat learners as thinkers and not just doers
- Practice various debriefing phases
- Connect to a community of colleagues interested in developing and improving their debriefing and feedback skills
The Workshop is intended to be an introduction to debriefing and can serve as a gateway to CMS’ multi-day Simulation Instructor Programs held at CMS in Boston and around the world. The Gateway Workshop will be facilitated by a lead CMS faculty member and a team of talented co-facilitators who have been trained by CMS.
Additional Details for Nursing Programs
Nursing programs whose faculty attend the Gateway Workshop will be able to provide evidence of meeting the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) guidelines.
Gateway Debriefing Workshop Details
Each Gateway Debriefing Workshop is able to enroll up to 50 participants and has two required components:

Participants will also be provided with the opportunity to connect with a growing community of simulation colleagues where they can continue to develop and improve their debriefing and feedback skills.
