Online Debriefing Program

CAPE's Online Debriefing Program in partnership with the Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning at Stanford University is now available. In this new online course, you will master the art of debriefing, one of the most effective strategies for empowering healthcare professionals to deliver safe, high-quality patient care. 

 

CAPE Webinar

In this webinar, CAPE’s directors, Lou Halamek, M.D. and Nicole Yamada, M.D., use an interactive discussion and video exemplars from CAPE’s Online Debriefing Program to highlight and analyze four foundational strategies from CAPE’s 20 Strategies for Effective Debriefing. You’ll learn how to clearly communicate expectations for how a debriefing will be conducted, how to begin debriefings in an objective and efficient manner, and ways to avoid creating defensiveness during debriefings.

International Faculty

For over two decades, CAPE has been internationally recognized as a leader in simulation and debriefing methodologies and is the world's first simulation-based training and research center dedicated to the fetal, neonatal, pediatric, and obstetric sciences. Recently, we had the honor of concurrently hosting 4 international visiting faculty members: Sook Kyung Yum MD PhD from The Catholic University of Korea, Ting-An Yen MD MPH from National Taiwan University Hospital, Nahom Teshager MD from University of Gondar in Ethopia, and Rocky Law MD from PYNEH in Hong Kong, China.

NECE at CAPE

In March, CAPE had the honor of serving as one of six pilot host sites for Neonatologist, Dr. Anne Sullivan of Boston Children's Hospital through the Neonatal Early Career Exchange (NECE) program. Dr. Sullivan spent two days with the CAPE team observing multiple research and training activities including simulation-based training programs, research focus groups, and debirefings conducted using the CAPE method, as well as meeting with School of Medicine faculty and staff including members of the Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) team. The team at CAPE as well as others within the Department of Pediatrics were also able to attend a talk given by Dr. Sullivan on the development and implementation of a simulation-based workshop on prenatal counseling.

A special thank you to Dr. Sullivan for sharing both her time and expertise, as well as those who helped organize her visit including the NECE Executive Committee. We look forward to additional opportunities with NECE.
