Debriefing is a method of reflective practice that allows one to scrutinize assumptions and practices, after an event. Debriefing is an essential part of the clinical simulation training, and is at this phase (post-scenario) that reflection on professional practices takes place, promoting the correction and modification of future actions. This technique is applied not only in the context of simulation but also in the context of clinical practice, enhancing the improvement of the health professionals' care and patient care. Debriefing is still poorly understood and applied in the national clinical context and in simulated training is often underestimated.

This course is designed for participants to acquire basic and advanced debriefing skills essential for moderating and facilitating clinical simulation scenarios. Furthermore, it will be explored how this practice can be applied in clinical context.

A clinical simulation instructor is a complex and dynamic task due to the different roles throughout the development, implementation and application of a simulation-based course.

This course is aimed at healthcare professionals who use clinical simulation as a pedagogical method to foster learning and transfer of knowledge/skills.

The general objectives of this training are:
