Annual Conference

Commercially available simulation packages, while helpful in educating student clinicians, often fall short of meeting all clinical training goals. This panel will explore ways in which educational programs are filling the gap and developing simulated experiences to meet programmatic needs.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the spectrum of low to high-tech simulation possibilities
• List at least three simulation ideas for your discipline
• Develop one complete simulation task that might be implemented locally

Supporting marginalized groups in our academic programs is necessary to a successful, inclusive learning environment. This session will build upon information provided to members from the CAPCSD webinar on LGBTQIA+ held in September 2020. Models for creating an inclusive environment will be shared.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will identify issues that commonly occur in higher education with LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, clients, and families who experience multiple stigmas.
• Participants will define terminology associated with LGBTQIA+ populations.
• Participants will provide solutions to problem-based learning scenarios commonly experienced by LGBTQIA+ populations.
