At CMS, the focus is on communication, collaboration, and crisis management training to develop the skills and teamwork behaviors that are best learned actively, under realistic conditions. Since first opening, CMS has trained thousands of participants through its innovative and challenging programs.

The Gateway Debriefing Skills Workshop introduces healthcare education faculty to the foundational practices of the Debriefing with Good Judgment© method of debriefing. This innovative workshop is an immersive learning experience that builds debriefing skills through repeated practice with coaching from debriefing experts.

The DASH Rater Training Workshop is designed for clinicians who are using the DASH tool to improve their own debriefing skills or to train other clinicians on debriefing. By providing insight into effective and ineffective debriefing behaviors and common errors of observation, participants will learn how to help improve performance by giving specific, actionable, and effective feedback. We strongly recommend the workshop for anyone who is performing high stakes or summative assessment of the debriefing competence of trainees or staff.
