SimBegin

Enhance Simulation Competence

SimBegin is a blended learning simulation facilitator course that aims to build competence and confidence in planning, conducting, and debriefing a simulation scenario. Ideally suited for educators and trainers who are new to simulation-based education, this course sets out to deliver a practical, digitally enabled solution so organizations can quickly be on their way to implementing quality simulation training.

Collaboratively developed by the SAFER Simulation Center and Laerdal, SimBegin has been successfully implemented across a wide range of settings in Norway, India, Nepal, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and other countries.

SimBegin has changed my teaching style – we have learned to reflect, come together for a common solution through the debriefings now

Creating quality simulation facilitators

SimBegin requires a class size of six (6) participants. Courses combine selfguided e-learning with immersive online workshops and practical in-person scenarios to equip educators with facilitator skills to run simulation trainings.

The course modules are developed to ensure readiness for implementation of simulation training. Learners are trained to prepare, brief, execute, and perform a debrief of a simulated event using pre-scripted scenarios.

Strengthening Midwifery Education in Nepal

Simulation Training Brings Change

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, World Health Organization, UNICEF, and national professional organizations, we worked to integrate simulation-based training into the national curricula, establish simulation labs, and train faculty in simulation methodology.

We’ve been seeing change. Student and faculty skills performance has more than doubled. More than 50 new midwives have graduated, and 300 midwifery students have been trained to deliver safe births, and when birth complications arise, midwives save lives. Midwives like Bedika. Watch her inspiring story.
