Multimodal simulation-based education approach

The School of Nursing and Midwifery (SONAM) has traditionally used Peer-Physical Exam (in addition to the CIME’s various task trainers) to teach their second-year students the art of history taking and physical examination as part of their Health Assessment course.

After analysing data from across the world that supported using a multimodal simulation-based approach to better achieve this outcome, Ms. Rahina Inayat Ali from the CIME Education Team and Ms. Shanaz Cassum, a highly respected SONAM faculty member, decided to work together to integrate this approach into the course’s existing curriculum.
