Lessons Learned: Implementing UK-Developed Interprofessional Simulation Training Courses in a Canadian Setting
Tóm tắt
In response to the need for practitioners to improve their skills in integrating mental and physical healthcare, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) (Canada) invited education specialists from Maudsley Simulation (UK) to pilot two of their existing interprofessional simulation courses on the mental-physical interface in Toronto. Participants’ experiences as well as the courses’ educational impact were evaluated. Participants completed pre-and post-course questionnaires, a 2-week follow-up questionnaire, and individual interviews 6 months after course completion. Participants (n = 23) found the courses to be relevant and applicable to their practice. Over half of the participants interviewed (8/15) reported changing their practice as a result of the course. However, concerns regarding the sociological fidelity of these courses within the Canadian context were noted. The findings support the transferability of interprofessional simulation courses developed in other countries. It is important, however, to contextualize course material to fit local healthcare systems and to ensure sociological fidelity where professional roles may vary.
