Simulation Fellowship
The Departments of Emergency Medicine and Graduate Medical Education are excited to announce the creation of a 1-year Emergency Medicine Simulation Fellowship, with our inaugural fellow in July 2024
The Emergency Medicine Simulation Fellowship will be a one-year mentored fellowship that offers advanced training in simulation teaching, curriculum and operational design, quality improvement, and simulation research
As a major training site for residents and medical students, the fellow will work with junior trainees at St. Joseph's Medical Center providing clinical and didactic education on an ongoing basis throughout the year. They will work closely with simulation faculty members to advance quality and safety through teamwork-based training and quality improvement projects focused on risk reduction in the clinical environment. Fellows will also have the opportunity to be involved with curriculum development for simulation training in Emergency Medicine and other specialties. They will design and implement a Capstone Project based on a simulation topic of their choosing, supported by simulation faculty. Fellows will work clinically as an attending physician in the St. Joseph's Emergency Department
Interested applicants should contact Matthew Kiefer, MD at matthew.kiefer@commonspirit.org
During the year Fellowship, fellows will follow a robust educational curriculum which will foster development of a solid foundation in medical education and teaching skills.
Fellows will:
Design and develop SIM cases and educational curriculum for resident learners
Prepare and run SIM scenarios for EM, other residency specialty, and medical student didactics
Develop and run in-hospital Mock code scenarios (multi-disciplinary)
Develop and run MCI scenarios (multi-disciplinary and inter-professional)
Develop task- trainers and create ‘lo-fi’ SIM modeling
Develop acting skills and hone SIM personas to guide learners through cases
Develop debriefing skills to guide learners though scenarios
Develop skills in handling Hi-tech mannequins, AV equipment, task trainers, etc
Develop SIM related QI projects, mentor resident learners with QI and scholarly activity related to SIM; gain familiarity with SIM related literature
Create a SIM based Capstone research project
