Introduction:

The delivery and management of postgraduate medical education in London has recently undergone substantial reform culminating in the separation of the commissioning and provision of postgraduate medical education under the Medical and Dental Education Commissioning System (MDECS). Health Education South London are now the commissioners while GSTT, as King’s Health Partners (KHP), is the Lead Provider (LP) for doctors undertaking higher medicine specialist training in South London, working in partnership with the associated Local Education Providers (LEPs) in the region.

The aim of this paper is to explore the approach by KHP in employing simulation and interactive learning as an effective tool for the purpose of inter-professional …show more content…

In this paper, I have discussed the issues that need to be considered when designing an effective simulation-based interprofessional teaching strategy in higher medicine specialties, from the viewpoint of a specialty education manager.

I also looked at simulation and interactive learning, as a tool for inter-professional education against the backdrop of various educational/training methods in order to examine the challenges and opportunities that multi-disciplinary and inter-professional education presents in higher medicine specialties in the KHP Trusts.

The strengths and limitations of competency-based curricula as a model for the education of doctors, in the light of current learning theories are also critically …show more content…

Simulation-based inter-professional education scenarios are usually customised to the particular learning groups, taking into consideration their specific requirements. This ensures authenticity and reflects real world situations.
Simulation is mainly underpinned by learning through reflection on doing -the experiential learning theory (Kolb 1984) as opposed to the didactic approach to medical education.

Didactic education is not thoroughly effective and has limited impact on the delivery of medicine by junior doctors (Weller et al 2005) but inter-professional learning, such as is being offered via well thought and planned simulation scenarios at KHP fosters effective collaborative practice, improved communication and teamwork –skills that are not intuitively learned (Barnsteiner et. al. 2007).

A key aspect of the KHP simulation programme is the debriefing and feedback session. Debriefing gives trainees the added value of acquiring required new knowledge and the opportunity for the identification, acknowledgement, analysis, confrontation and management of errors (Ziv et al

It has been argued that the shift towards patient-conscious medical aid is necessary and that simulation in its widest sense can be used to support this process. However, sensitivity to what we are simulating is essential, especially when simulations purport to address patient perspectives. The essay first reviews the history of medical education "centeredness," then outlines ways in which real and simulated patients are currently involved in medical education. Patient-focused simulation is described as a means of offering patients' perspectives during the acquisition of clinical procedural and surgical skills. The authors draw on their experiences of developing Patient-focused simulation and preliminary work to "authenticate" simulations from patient perspectives.

Due to technological advances students are learning by simulation based training. According to American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (2014) “The use of simulation to practice technical skills has gained acceptance as a viable teaching and learning method in healthcare” (p. 419). Safety of patients is the number one priority, so there for the government provides the latest equipment to help students learn and better understand their jobs. Also the AANA (2014) stated “By 2010, the nurse anesthesia curriculum was revised to integrate 350 hours of simulation-based education throughout the curriculum in parallel with each of the main anesthesiology nursing courses” (p.421). Even when you graduate and get a job the education does not stop there.

In an effort to create more efficient and effective health care services, decision makers and organizational leaders have looked to the implementation of interprofessional healthcare teams to deliver care together as opposed to the traditional model of healthcare delivery one that sees practitioners working alone in silos (Tomblin Murphy, Alder, MacKenzie & Rigby, 2010; Weinberg, Cooney-Miner, Perloff, Babington, & Avgar, 2011). In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) Study Group on Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Collaborative Practice (IPC) created a set of definitions to assist the health researchers, educators, policy developers, decision makers and others in developing IPE and IPC in their jurisdictions to both build capacity

An argument against interprofessional training in health care programs is that health care workers are capable of learning to cooperate interprofessionally as students through their discipline-only clinicals or through time spent in the workforce. Other arguments, such as the ones Chen, Delnat, and Gardner (2015) argues in their article, what are that students have enough clinical hours as it is, “scheduling conflicts, funding, and/or separation of education and practice”. Interprofessional education refines and focuses on different skills, but some of these skills can be learned without interprofessional education, but then quality of skills or student comfortability with these skills may decrease. When some people say interprofessional training can be learned through their discipline-designed clinicals or that these skills will develop once students graduate and are working in their career, they do not understand that these skills need a foundation to be fully developed.

In my senior year at UC Davis, I worked part-time at the Academy of 21st Century Learning. My responsibilities included tutoring K-12 children, designing and teaching academic camps, and building the Kairos program. During the school year, I worked at the Academy for about 15 hours each week, along with the off hours I put into designing camps and working on the Kairos curriculum. Through my time here, I worked to develop close relationships with my students, a competence which will help me to become a better physician. Additionally, because the Academy functioned as a team in designing and implementing a solid goal plan for each student, I am prepared to apply the skills I have learned to working in a medical

My first comprehensive exposure to the health care field was six years ago as a senior, during which time I participated in hospital-based schooling. This program allowed me to observe a multitude of different medical disciplines, with rotations in surgery, orthopedics, nutrition, dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, administrative services, and many more. Three out of the five school days were dedicated solely to shadowing, and the other two were spent in the classroom learning various medical-centric studies. Once in college, I continued to shadow physicians whenever my class scheduled permitted. I participated in the 4-U Mentorship program, which paired me with a fourth-year medical student who was preparing to do his residency in general

While a patient navigator can guide a patient through the complex healthcare system, he/she can also facilitate interdependency such that synergy emerges between healthcare professionals. This process is depicted by the bidirectional arrow in Appendix A. To promote IDC, many literatures suggest incorporating interdisciplinary professional practice in curriculum and having interdisciplinary team training programs; however, these tactics do not address the immediate organizational constraints (resources, support, time and funding), which is another major culprit to ineffective IDC (Hermann, Head, Black & Singleton, 2016; O’Connor & Fisher, 2011). Professionals and even patients have reported time constraints as a barrier to developing team

The Dictionary of Education (1) describes ‘multidisciplinary’ as representative of two or more professional disciplines brought together for the purpose of achieving coordinated and complimentary support functions. An ‘interdisciplinary’ course is described as the High School or University utilising subject matter from various fields in the solution of a problem; usually a new topic-centred area for analysis regardless of how it fits the traditional viewpoint. Other terms used are ‘integration of disciplines’ and ‘co-ordination’. It is evident in practice that ‘multidisciplinary’ and ‘interdisciplinary’ are similar.
