Role of the Education Committee

Empower dietetics educators in preparing students

for a successful career continuum

Charge of the Education Committee

To address the broad needs of the dietetics education community in developing and

maintaining quality dietetics education programs and enhancing the relationship between the

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and educators of dietetics students.

Summary of Activities for the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year

• Implementation of the Program Director Portal/Nutrition & Dietetics Education Community and Resources Database

• Transition of the DICAS to the ACEND


The Committee has engaged in the following activities over the last year pertaining to simulations:

•The Committee Chair serves on the Simulation Grant Work Group to develop a simulation grant to encourage the development of simulations for supervised practice.


•Committee members attended conferences on simulations to gather ideas on how other professions are incorporating simulations in education and training.

• The Committee hosted an Educational Session at FNCE 2011 on the use of education simulations to enhance supervised practice.


•The Committee is developing resources on simulations to be posted on the Program Director Portal.

• The Committee continues to focus on several pilot initiatives (derived from the Education and Future Practice Summit) relating to simulations.

Ongoing Collaboration

•Working with leaders from NDEP, ACEND, CDR, CFP and the Diversity Committee

•Participated in:•Education and Future Practice Summit•Workforce Demand Study •CDR Practice Audit•Ad Hoc Committee on Supervised Practice

Program Director Portal

Nutrition & Dietetics Education Community and Resources Database

11

Program Director Portal

The portal contains communities for program directors to share

information and discuss specific topics of interest.

12

Program Director Portal Communities

•Accreditation Forum•Advancing Dietetic Practice•ISPP User Group-Individualized Supervised Practice Pathways•Nutrition & Dietetics Education Resources

13

Nutrition & Dietetics Education Resources Community

The community is designed for program directors to share and discuss educator resources and

tools.

15

Nutrition and Dietetics Education Database

•At this time, we are inviting programs to upload case studies to be available through the searchable database. These materials must be self-developed or copyright-free.

17


•The resources on the database are available as submitted by the original author.

•They have not been approved or endorsed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics or the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.

•The original author’s information is provided through the database.

24


•Presently, only program directors have access to the portal due to security purposes.

•All educators/faculty/preceptors are encouraged to ask program directors to share materials obtained through the portal.

25


•All educators/faculty/preceptors/practitioners are able to contribute case studies and other teaching tools.

•In the future, we will issue a call for other classroom or supervised-practice resources to be posted on the portal.

26

Charge as Identified by the Academy’s BOD

• Encourage, initiate, and monitor dietetics education activities,

• Assess and make recommendations on critical issues related to dietetics education,

• Provide guidance, leadership, and resources to dietetics educators, including non-RD dietetics educators,

Charge (continued)• Identify and evaluate trends which have an

impact on dietetics education and determine best practices,

• Establish and facilitate a communications forum, support system and network among dietetics education programs and RD/non-RD faculty,

• Prepare and recommend long-range plans for dietetics education,

28

Charge (continued)• Provide leadership in the development and maintenance of quality dietetics education programs,

• Assist existing dietetics education programs in meeting accreditation standards, and

• Identify research needs for dietetics education topics.

Getting Started in Simulation…

Brought to you by the Academy Education Committee

Spring 2012

Learning Objectives for Simulation Presentation

•Summarize how to develop a simulation scenario

•Describe the principles of providing effective feedback in simulation based education and the role of debriefing.

31

Getting Started

•Identify simulations you use or live with

32

Why Simulation •Feedback centered on student(s)

•Reduces unnecessary patient risk

•Difficult for all to get competency

•Promote effective teamwork

•Allows hindsight, a lab for studying

33

Types of Simulation

•High and low fidelity•Crisis preparedness•Technical or non-technical•On-site or remote simulation training•Avatars•Scripted vs unscripted•Video taped or not

34

Components of Simulation

•Goal•Briefing-Overview•Simulation Content and materials•Length•Critical steps/flow•Evaluation checklist•Debriefing

35

Another View•Why doing?•Learning Objectives•Guided Study Questions•Preparation•Set up•Case Stem•Application of Skills•Debriefing•Evaluation

36

Team Process

Three domains:

• Behavioral – task management

• Affective – interprofessional attitude

• Cognitive – situation awareness

37

What do you want to accomplish or research opportunities?

Change = simulation, standardized patient, other

•Does the change increase skills pre-supervised practice either technical or professional?•Does the change reduce educational time for student or faculty?•Does the change reduce time in clinical rotations?•Does the change better measure competency?

38

Space and Equipment

•Fixed or moveable

•Shared or single disciplines

•Observation space or room

•Upfront and variable costs

39

Types of Scenarios

•Food service

•Clinical

•Community

•Management

•Education

40

The Scenario

•Purpose•Story•Method•Scoring Main tasks•Writing scenario and scoring•Critique of materials/pilot

41

Evaluation

•Formative

•Summative

42

Debriefing

•Aim at positive; positives and opportunities to change•Promote reflection and exploration•Restating what is said; ask others for feedback•Ask questions like: 1st memory of scenario; one take away message•Active listening•Open ended

43

Bond (1985) Debriefing Method:

DAA

•Description: what happened? The order? Factual and technical

•Analysis: main and student focused; open ended, feelings

•Application: reflect back from all; changes

44

Evaluation Scoring

•Done or not done

•Not done, inconsistent, consistent , consistent and well done

•Noted or not noted

45

Where to Start•What is your biggest need?

•What is the goal?

•Analyzing the task

•Educational objectives (Mager)

•Assessment strategy46

Learning More…•Take a class on simulations, assessment and debriefing

•Read the literature

•Investigate opportunities in your institution to do interprofessional activities

•Join an interprofessional association

47

THANK YOU!

The Academy sent Lauri Wright and Julie O’Sullivan Maillet (Education

Committee Members) to the International Simulation Conference in January 2012.

Many of these ideas came from those sessions.
