Integrating TeamSTEPPS into Simulation and Team Debriefing

November 8, 2017

TeamSTEPPS provides a functional model for the development of interprofessional collaboration, and simulation experiences offer learners the chance to apply the principles and strategies in a safe environment. Knowledge and application of TeamSTEPPS principles are scaffolded through curricula by integrating TeamSTEPPS behaviors into simulation and debriefing. The webinar presenters are James Carlson, PhD, PA-C, CHSE, Vice President for Interprofessional Education and Simulation, and Bill Gordon, DMin, a TeamSTEPPS Master Trainer and an instructor in the Department of Interprofessional Healthcare Studies, both of whom are faculty members at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how a health professions university or program can integrate foundational TeamSTEPPS training in an interprofessional model
• Describe methods for scaffolding foundational TeamSTEPPS principles into simulation-based education and assessment
• Utilize TeamSTEPPS principles and strategies as a method for debriefing and professional development in simulated encounters
• Describe outcomes related to simulation-based TeamSTEPPS training and Interprofessional Education
