Working together through simulation in the operating room!

The operating room is a complex and codified multi-professional environment with a high level of risk. During his first internship, the student, lacking specific initial training, has difficulty finding his place. He may find himself destabilized, just like the teams who welcome him. This is potentially a loss of security for learners and a possible reduction in vocations in the face of an environment that is perceived as hostile at first glance.

This training aims to provide the knowledge allowing you to move around safely in an operating room, to know how to carry out certain technical gestures (suture, etc.) and to apply hygiene measures.

The teaching method is done in an immersive manner over 5 days with varied lessons: synthetic theoretical courses over 3 half-days, simulation workshops over 3 half-days and preparation for a Hackathon in the operating room over 2 half-days . The last day is reserved for theoretical and practical evaluations.

Simulation has become an essential educational tool in the training of healthcare professionals. Under the leadership of Dr Benjamin Menahem , digestive surgeon at Caen Normandy University Hospital and teacher-researcher at Caen Normandy University , this specific training is offered to students before they are confronted with the reality of their internship. Around fifty learners and around twenty trainers are involved in this seminar dedicated to health simulation.

This training is a course made up of several workshops designed to develop the skills essential to optimized patient care, both in terms of relationships and procedural skills.

NORSIMS university hospital simulation center , and the University Multimedia Teaching Center (CEMU), students will be able to train in teams in know-how and skills, which constitutes a real gain in efficiency in the care practices.
