What is debriefing?
Debriefing is a time to explore the team’s response to the emergency immediately after the simulation scenario ends. The simulation scenario experience is often an intense, life-like experience. Thoughtful reflection and discussion afterward helps participants self-reflect and sort out what happened and why. Participants view selected scenes from the recorded simulation scenario that highlight key educational points. Instructors, trained in techniques of debriefing, act as facilitators, as colleagues identify what went well and where improvements might be made.
