Simulation Fellowship Program Facets

Education and Training

Our fellowship program is about learning from the best and translating those teachings to make a real impact. You will:

— Deepen your understanding of adult learning theory and debriefing techniques.

  • Our Simulation Fellowship delves into the fascinating world of adult learning theory, equipping you to create engaging and effective learning experiences.
  • You'll master the DASH framework, a powerful tool for debriefing simulations that maximizes participant learning and skill development.

— Gain hands-on experience developing and delivering simulation experiences.

Our Simulation Fellowship isn't just about theory – it's about action. You'll gain invaluable hands-on experience in developing and delivering simulations across the entire learning spectrum:

  • Undergraduate Medical Education (UME): Foster foundational skills in medical students.
  • Graduate Medical Education (GME): Refine the decision-making and clinical expertise of residents and fellows.
  • Continuing Medical Education (CME): Equip practicing physicians with the latest knowledge and procedures.
  • Hospital Staff Training: Enhance teamwork, communication, and collaboration across all hospital departments using multidisciplinary, interprofessional, in-situ simulations.

System Integration

Our fellowship program is beyond education and training. Our team is proud to train you to become a leader in patient safety and quality.

We actively participate in organizational quality initiatives at a micro and macro level and measure simulation outcomes to drive measurable improvements in patient care. For example, we use simulation to identify and address patient safety risks in the operating room, leading to a reduction in complications.

  • You will gain experience and information in human factors engineering and systemic approaches to solve safety and quality concerns.
  • You will learn to develop and deliver impactful reports that inform quality improvement initiatives.

Some examples of hospital-wide system integration include:

  • CIU Simulation: Simulation was conducted prior to CIU unit opening to identify latent safety threats with medical and behavioral emergencies with psychiatrists, unit nurses, security, medical emergency teams
  • GI/GU Simulation: Simulation was conducted prior to the unit opening regarding latent safety threats with medical emergencies with physicians, unit nurses, medical emergency teams
  • Design Simulation: Simulation was conducted for the new building room design regarding fall, medical cases, utilization of tools with the chief patient safety and quality executives to report to construction company for buildout

Scholarship and Research

Our team is committed to help you make a lasting impact on healthcare with our focus on education in simulation scholarship and research.

You will be able to participate in projects that are of interest to you and your career goals. For example, are you interested in how to leverage AI in simulation education? Are you interested in the effectiveness of simulation in surgical communication?

You will be fully supported for your dedication to scholarship success – whether it's mentorship opportunities, travel for conferences, IRB application, QI/QA Process, grant application and management, or access to cutting-edge resources at the simulation center.

The Medical College of Wisconsin is known for its presentations at local, regional, national and international conferences and publications in top-tier journals. We invite you to be a part of the community that is motivated and successful at delivering research and transforming healthcare delivery.

Administration

Our team will prepare you to be a leader in medical simulation. We are committed to providing you experience in micro-level management (team) or macro-level management (simulation center).

You will be able to observe daily and weekly operation of program and center management. This will include effectively allocating monetary values to resources to optimize program effectiveness and to ensure alignment with MCW and the hospital system’s mission.

For example, as a medical director you will understand the workflow of team management, budget creation/review, HR management, and simulation center management.

How to Apply

Interested applicants should submit the following to jhinze@mcw.edu:

  • Curriculum vitae (CV) or resume
  • One-page letter of intent
  • Two letters of recommendation (one from current program director)

We review applications and notify applicants of decisions on a rolling basis.
