Resident Timeline

clock with diverse people holding hands around itThis timeline takes into account the development and implementation of this simulation curriculum for residents at our particular institution. You may find that implementation will take more or less time given considerations including institutional and residency program buy-in, resident curricular structure, standardized patient training, and simulation center scheduling.

If you plan to use our process to develop your own cases and materials:

  • January: Work with Simulation Center to block dates and times for 3 resident simulations.
  • March: Begin resident focus groups to drive case development.
  • April: Develop and refine cases as informed by focus groups.
  • May: Select and train actors.
  • May: Pilot cases with graduating residents.
  • June: Further refine cases based on pilot data. Select and train new actors if needed.
  • August-October: Complete resident simulations with faculty facilitators.
  • November-January: Complete follow-up focus groups with residents if desired.

If you plan to use our materials as written:

  • January: Work with Simulation Center to block dates and times for 3 resident simulations.
  • May: Select and train actors.
  • May-July: You may choose to pilot these cases with selected actors and make edits to cases or select and train new actors as needed.
  • August-October: Complete resident simulations with faculty facilitators.
  • November-January: Complete follow-up focus groups with residents if desired.
