Mannequin scenario-writing workshop
A four-hour workshop on developing effective scenarios for mannequin-based simulation programs, using a standard template.
Debriefing workshop
In this three-hour workshop, participants acquire an understanding of how to, effectively, facilitate a mannequin-based simulation program debriefing. This interactive workshop provides many opportunities to practice the skills discussed during the session.
