I am recruiting health professions educators in Japan, Korea,
China and Singapore for a study entitled, “How Do Health Professions Educators
in Asia Approach Simulation Debriefing in Relation to the Cultural Dimensions
of the Learning Environment?” Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval
has been obtained from Pepperdine University (Los Angeles). This research is
being conducted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a doctoral
dissertation.
The purpose of the study is to investigate how educators
facilitate debriefing during simulation-based education with learners in
non-Western cultures. I am inviting individuals from professional
simulation societies, professional educator networks, simulation-related
discussion forums, and personal contacts, to participate in this study.
The study instruments are available in Japanese, Chinese, Korean and
English languages.
If you use simulation as an educational method, you may
participate in any or all of three parts of this mixed methods, explanatory
study. Participation in one part does not obligate you to participate in
any of the other parts. The study includes an electronic survey, a
one-on-one interview by video-conference or telephone, and an option to upload
a recorded debriefing session that you have facilitated. If you should
decide to participate in the study, you will be asked to complete an electronic
survey. It should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete the survey.

Please share this message with your professional colleagues in
East Asia who use simulation in health professions education.
Thank you.
