Optimising Learning With Task Trainers (OLTT)

Performing procedures and surgical operations requires development of both cognitive and psychomotor skills. Simulation aids skills development, as it allows safe learning and skills practice without compromising patient safety. This workshop introduces educational frameworks of skills development and best practice methods to incorporate simulation with task-trainers into skills development. During this active learning workshop, participants will engage with simulated learners and practice curriculum design.

*Examples of task trainers used for teaching include: Basic Procedures – suturing sets, intubation model, catheter insertion Diagnostic Procedures – ultrasound phantoms Surgical Procedures – laparoscopic box trainers, animal/cadeveric workshops, VR computerized endoscopy

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Discuss the benefits and limitations of using task trainers in skills development
Describe models of skills development and training
Describe the role of feedback in task-trainer based skills development
Design a learning plan that uses a task trainer to support the development of a skill

Target Audience

Educators who are responsible for creating programmes for development of procedural/surgical skills in their learners
Educators who teach procedural/surgical skills using task trainers
