Debriefing Guidelines
(Remember to identify important concepts or curricular threads that are specific to your
program)
1. Leave the simulation room and go to a conference room, if possible. It allows for deescalation of emotions.
2. Solicit and validate emotions briefly. Validate simisms (the simulation isn’t 100% accurate
due to different equipment, personnel etc)
3. What went WELL in this simulation?
4. What DID NOT go well in this simulation?
5. If you could do it again, what would you do differently?
6. Summarize:
“What I hear you saying is . . .”
