DJ Simulationistas... 'Sup?

NEW ALGORITHM: Talking drug research & the new ACLS guidelines with Dan Raemer & Janice Palaganas. Also this week: the half life of facts, and balancing speed with thoughtfulness in critical care decision-making. Enjoy!

Episode 059: The New Algorithm

THE 50% SIM STUDY: Apologies for the poor audio quality in this episode, which was recorded on the road at a CMS traveling course.

Brad Morrison joins Janice Palaganas as a guest host to interview Suzie Kardong-Edgren, a new member of the Center for Medical Simulation faculty, about her experience as an editor at a major nursing journal, about the massive study which found that 50% of nursing school patient care experience can be done as simulation, and about life as an expert on research. Enjoy!

DAN IS RETIRING! This is the penultimate episode of DJ Simulationistas as you know it. 

Janice, considering how her retiree parents seem to worry over everything, asks Dan to come up with a list of his worries for simulation in the future.

Sim Worry 1: Will the expense of simulation cause it to decline?
Sim Worry 2: Somehow, simulation will hurt patients or providers.
Sim Worry 3: The quality of simulation instruction will go down as the number of instructors goes up.
Sim Worry 4: Sim becomes monopolized by one profession or one way of doing things.
Sim Worry 5: People won't appreciate what good sim looks like and the effort it takes to achieve it.
Sim Worry 6: Letting down people who expected to learn more.

Listen to learn how you can keep each of these dark futures for simulation from happening to your learners and your institution!

Episode 080: The Collapse of Simulation | The Penultimate Episode

DJ SIM SPECIAL: Brad Morrison joins Janice as guest host, along with Christian Balmer, Catherine Chang, Derek Monette, and Benjamin Schultze to discuss how ad hoc teams can form smoothly in real time. What's the special sauce of how four people who don't know each other can become a team? Enjoy!

SAYING GOODBYE TO DAN: In a bittersweet finale to the DJ Simulationistas podcast, Janice leads Dan through the final simulation experience of his career. But wait! Dan will return next week as we bring you the next version of the Center for Medical Simulation flagship podcast. Enjoy!

Episode 082: The Final Simulation

JJ Simulationistas: The big day has come! Dan joins us one last time for the big handoff, as Janice Palaganas and Jenny Rudolph take over the team to move the podcast forward as JJ Simulationistas. Learn how we're going to talk more simulation than ever, but bridge it into real life situations. Enjoy!

Episode 083: Simulation in Real Life

A nurse preceptor has just watched a trainee commit a serious error despite hours of lecture, reading, and hands on training. In spite of herself, she starts to heat up, much like the more severe clinical educators who trained her years ago. “Why can’t you just get this right?”

An ICU attending asks her resident to call her if a patient’s hematocrit drops under a certain value. Despite this agreement, and despite the patient deteriorating, the resident never calls. “Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you call me?”

In these moments, how do we reset ourself to a place of care, curiosity, and compassion? How do we model a better culture of learning? How do we have our judgment, instead of our judgment having us?

In “Curious Now with Jenny Rudolph,” a social scientist takes on the hidden structures that shape our behavior, culture, communication, and learning in healthcare.

In this interactive podcast, Jenny Rudolph, PhD, FSSH, will help listeners approach the thoughts, feelings, and judgments underlying their reactions in a psychologically safer manner, helping us to better connect with curiosity and compassion to the people around us, especially when we feel that they’ve done something “wrong.” This podcast will include weekly challenges to examine your own thinking, including follow-up with listeners and experts about their experience on the journey to Good Judgment.

Jenny Rudolph has made a career exploring what makes clinicians, healthcare organizations, and health professions training programs tick. Underneath the surface of intelligent, capable people who care about doing their best are hidden patterns that interfere with how they perform. Hierarchy, ego, communication glitches, resilience, power, professional learning, and how learning happens all flow downstream into creating actions that work and actions that don’t.

Jenny found out the hard way that being too certain can get you in trouble. Demoted from third to second grade for poor academic performance when she arrived in Jaipur, India as an eight-year-old, she realized she had better get curious about how her new school and culture ran, and that curiosity has remained with her ever since.

Jenny now works with clinicians around the world to help them develop their own love of that little dopamine drip of rewarding surprise when you find out something new about your colleagues and how they think. Whether trying to figure out a diagnosis, discovering what a learner is thinking, or upping your own clinical mastery, getting Curious Now is the solution.

Founded in 1993, the Center for Medical Simulation was one of the world's first healthcare simulation centers and continues to be a global leader in the field. Simulation training at CMS gives healthcare providers a new and enlightening perspective on how to handle real medical situations. Through high-fidelity scenarios that simulate genuine crisis management situations, the CMS experience can open new chapters in the level of healthcare quality that participants provide.
