PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
At CAPE, we are driven by an unrelenting focus on improving human and system performance for the benefit of our patients.
One of the most powerful uses of simulation in healthcare is to promote clinically relevant research. With more than a decade of experience as an academic research and training center for Stanford Medicine, the team at CAPE will help you design studies using simulation as a methodology to answer clinically relevant questions that are difficult or impossible to answer in the real clinical environment. Participants will delve into key aspects of simulation-based research, including how to generate a testable hypothesis, design a protocol, recruit subjects, secure funding, and prepare abstracts and manuscripts. Questions involving aspects of human and system performance, procedural utility and medical device and system design will be reviewed. Strategies for successfully mentoring junior investigators will also be covered in detail.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
* Write a testable hypothesis.
* Design a study using a simulation-based investigative methodology.
* Develop strategies for recruiting subjects, securing funding and preparing presentations and publications.
* Complete a draft of a research study based on your interests.
