Simulation-based learning is all about applying knowledge and learning through experience. We're creating an environment that's safer, predictable, consistent, standardized and reproducible, which is revolutionizing the way we educate future mental health professionals.
Imagine stepping into a world where mental health training goes beyond textbooks and lectures. In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer sits down with Dr. Petal Abdool, Medical Director of the CAMH Simulation Centre, and Stephanie Sliekers, Manager of Simulation and Digital Innovation at CAMH, to explore how simulation-based learning is shaking up mental health education.
They discuss the new Simulation Centre at CAMH, which is already making waves with its virtual reality courses for suicide assessment and upcoming projects for opioid overdose treatment. Dr. Abdool and Sliekers share their vision for integrating AI into future training, creating an environment that's safe, predictable, and reproducible for learners. While there are challenges, such as engaging learners from a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) perspective, the benefits of this hands-on approach are clear.
Recent successes with child and adolescent psychiatry residents highlight how simulation can change practice and enhance engagement. If you're curious about the future of mental health education, this episode offers a glimpse into the innovative world of simulation-based learning.
