MINDFUL LEARNING

CONFERENCE4TH ANNUAL

The philosophy of Mindful Learning offers new approaches to healthcare education and training. Real learning takes place in "mindful" environments: ones that both provide context for the subject we are studying and allow us to bring something of ourselves into the process.

MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE CHAIR


We invite you to join us on April 11, 2011 in Washington, D.C. for SiTEL of MedStar Health’s Fourth Annual Innovative Education Conference.

This year’s conference theme is Mindful Learning. Real learning takes place in “mindful” en-vironments: ones that both provide context for the subject we are studying and allow us to bring something of ourselves into the process. This philosophy informs new approaches to healthcare training.

Thought leaders, who are defining the future of global education, will present ideas to inspire dialogue about “mindful” practices. As healthcare educators, we must ask how “we can create learning content that heightens our sense of situational awareness and improves conscious control over our thoughts and behaviors relative to various situations.” You can read more about the conference speakers on our blog.

Mindful Learning is more than a theme to us. It is the lens through which we view the sciences, theories, methodologies, and technologies of learning. Our approach combines the scien-tific foundation of positive psychology and brain science with the application of experiential learning theory through instructional, simulation, and game design. Learner “experiences” are blended across technology-driven environments — online didactic learning, serious games, virtual simulations, and clinical simulations.

This conference sets the stage for the authorship of “The Art and Practice of Experiential Learning in Healthcare” and the associated “Experiential Learning in Healthcare Fieldbook.”

We look forward to meeting you,

2011 INNOVATIVE EDUCATION CONFERENCE 20% EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT UNTIL MARCH 25TH 4

OBJECTIVES & AUDIENCE


Our struggle with limited resources and time demands that we pioneer new solutions.

Meet seven internationally renowned speakers who will share their know-how with you.

• Serve as a forum for cross-specialty and multidisciplinary dialogue between scientists and policy makers on issues related to developing, using, and applying learning technologies.

• Provide sound scientific knowledge based on issues related to learning technology trans-fers and capacity building

• Identify more efficient ways and means of building focused learning that transforms cogni-tive learning to evidence-based practices in the work environment

• Provide a stimulating environment for discussion on scientific learning issues through robust sessions. Attain hands-on experience with simulation and games in the Learning Lounge.

This one-day conference’s goal is to improve the delivery of education and training in the healthcare setting. The conference will provide tools that will help you deliver innovative, higher quality education to your workforce. The topics will be presented via lecture and group activity.

THE LEARNING LOUNGE

8

This year, we are introducing the Learning Lounge, a showcase of new learning products. Explore their use and talk to the experts.

SITEL’s Learning Lounge concept was inspired by the desire to shift healthcare organizations toward becoming learning or-ganizations. We understand how to design spaces that can be used to test and evaluate new training solutions that support highly immersive simulation training.

THE USER EXPERIENCE

THE LEARNING LOUNGE

When you walk into a classroom, office, or simulation center, while it may seem obvious to many, it all starts with the user experience. The physical environment impacts how we learn.

Our Simulation Centers include a new concept for learning spaces, known as the Learning Lounge. The Learning Lounge is where personalized learning can occur. It is a place where each encounter is different from the learner’s point of view--a pro-tected time and space for reflection, research, or exploration. The result is an adaptable space designed to meet the needs of students and faculty.

Simulation Centers must be resourceful; they must balance functional, fiscal, and pedagogical needs. Intelligent, innovative designs for spatial configuration, functionality, and creativity can provide the flexibility needed for adaptable learning spaces.

DESIGNING FOR HEALTHCARE’S FUTURE

When Christopher Alexander wrote A Pattern Language more than 25 years ago, he looked at the real world of people plus the buildings and spaces they inhabited in order to understand the connections between the built environment and the hu-man psyche.

Today, we know that our brains are hardwired to understand and respond to patterns that exist within our built environ-ments. If we are to have a school where students “become” healthcare professionals, then we need to provide them with an environment that supports the realms of human experi-ence: spatial, psychological, physiological, and behavioral.

Jodi Herold McIlroy, BHSc(PT), MA, PhD is a Scientist at the Wilson Centre for Research in Education at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. She earned her PhD (2005) in Educational Measurement and Evaluation at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto (OISE/UT), where her doctoral focus was performance-based assessment of clinical competence. Dr. Herold McIlroy has worked with a number of faculty and clinician educators to develop and adapt assessment methodologies that evaluate components of clinical compe-tence that are not related to clinical content knowledge and reasoning. Some recent projects have included adaptation of the mini-CEX evaluation format to the construct of pro-fessionalism and adaptation of the OSCE format to assess CanMEDS roles including collaborator, manager, advocate, and scholar.

In addition to publishing and presenting in the medical ed-ucation and measurement domains, she has worked with credentialing and evaluation agencies in numerous health professions on the development, validation, and ongoing quality assurance of performance-based assessments of clini-cal competence.

WASHINGTON D.C.

Washington, D.C. is a wonderful place to visit. In addition to the wealth of attractions relating to our government and its history, you can examine Impressionist masterpieces in the National Gallery of Art, experience the beauty of the United States Bo-tanical Gardens’ exotic plants and flowers, and learn about the creatures of the African Savannah at the National Zoo. There is so much to do and see in our nation’s capitol that you’ll want to plan a return visit.

Our nation’s capitol has characteristics like no other city. Fed-eral agency headquarters, Congress, two thousand associations, and numerous think tanks create a unique population of think-ing minds.

Brimming with treasures from American history and a mul-titude of attractions, the District of Columbia is among the world’s easiest metropolitan areas to navigate. Safe, efficient public transportation systems serviced by the Metrorail sub-way and Metrobus make many attractions and neighborhoods easily accessible.

Exploring the nation’s capitol on foot also can be pleasurable, especially around inspiring monuments and museums on the National Mall, world-class theaters, and splendid garden squares throughout the District. Guided tours of the city are plentiful. The 67-square-mile District of Columbia is divided into four quadrants: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, and Southeast. The U.S. Capitol building marks the center where the quad-rants meet. Numbered streets run north and south. Lettered streets run east and west. There are no J, X, Y, or Z streets. Avenues named for U.S. states run diagonally, often meeting at traffic circles and squares.
