Online Debriefing Skills Refresher Course

The Center for Medical Simulation’s Online Debriefing Skills Refresher Course (ODSRC) provides a way for CMS’ Simulation Instructor Training alumni to refresh and continue to develop their debriefing skills. Over a 6 week period of time, participants will engage in a variety of online learning activities to refresh skills related to advocacy-inquiry, structuring a multi-phase debriefing discussion, and prebriefing. Based on both peer mentoring and faculty feedback, the course offers a variety of ways to build on skills acquired during our in-person courses.

This course is for experienced healthcare educators trained in the Debriefing with Good Judgment method. This is not an introductory Debriefing with Good Judgment course. Participants must have previously taken one of the following Center for Medical Simulation courses:
Gateway Debriefing Skills Workshop
