We SEE simulation differently:
Safety. Efficiency. Effectiveness.
At CAPE, we innovate and disseminate
novel methods of improving
human and system performance.

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.

CAPE Video in Simulation Series
Video in Simulation is a three-part series featuring Dr. Lou Halamek discussing his philosophies of sim training and the use of video debriefing. This series of educational videos was produced by Debriefly, click here to view the rest of the series.
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT CAPE
So What Do People Actually Do?
Immanuel Barshi, Ph.D., a Senior Principal Investigator in the Human Systems Integration Division at the NASA Ames Research Center, was recently invited to speak at Stanford by Lou Halamek, MD.
The presentation, "So What Do People Actually Do? A Discussion of Humans and Safety" focused on how managing challenging situations safely is applicable across multiple specialties that require quick decision making and risk assessment.
NICU Fellows at CAPE
This summer, CAPE will host three full-day programs for the NICU fellows. The first program, NeoSim, allows fellows to experience intense, challenging neonatal resuscitation scenarios and have multiple opportunities to acquire and refine key cognitive, technical and behavioral skills.
This is followed by CounselSim, a program that provides realistic pre- and postnatal counseling scenarios involving complex fetal disease, life-threatening neonatal conditions and end-of-life/transition of care situations.
Finally, during ECMOSim the fellows have the opportunity to work through multiple emergency scenarios involving both circuit failures and patient decompensation that mandate rapid, accurate decision making under tremendous time pressure.
The CAPE team is looking forward to meeting our incoming NICU fellows and completing a successful series of programs.
Congratulations, Rodrigo
Recently, CAPE's Simulation Lab Manager, Rodrigo Galindo, MSc, CHSOS, received the Research Technical Staff Award presented by the Stanford University Department of Pediatrics on Friday, June 28, 2024.
CAPE is incredibly thankful for Rodrigo's expertise and insight when it comes to how we S.E.E. simulation, and it is a privilege to celebrate this recent achievement.
