Gilbert Program in Medical Simulation<br />

Simulation Casebook<br />

Harvard Medical School Draft of the 1 st edition (2011), updated 3/2/12<br />

NOTE FROM THE EDITORS<br />

This casebook comprises a collection of selected simulation cases developed, refined, and<br />

deployed in the teaching laboratories of the Gilbert Program in Medical Simulation at Harvard<br />

Medical School. They have been drafted, edited, and adapted by several classes of teaching<br />

fellows and core faculty who comprise the Gilbert Simulation Team. Collectively, these cases<br />

have been used to teach thousands of students.<br />

We have edited and enhanced these cases to ensure medical accuracy and uniformity<br />

(N.B. the standardized case template used throughout was adapted from the Simulation Case<br />

Template developed by the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine Simulation Interest<br />

Group). As written, the cases are intended for a broad array of learners, ranging from preclinical<br />

medical students and doctoral graduate students to interns and advanced residents. There are<br />

optional case progressions, with case variations and suggestions to prompt the learner or guide<br />

the case. For advanced learners, a more challenging scenario can be adapted by utilizing the<br />

points in italics. Of note, basic variants of several of these cases have been used to teach<br />

sophisticated biomedical concepts to high school and college students as part of the Harvard<br />

Summer PreMedical Institute and Harvard Medical School Bioscience Program for High School<br />

Students.<br />

To enhance the simulation experience, multimedia links are provided to EKG,<br />

radiography, and other resources on the internet.<br />

We hope that a consolidated, central source of successfully tested and deployed<br />

simulation cases will be a valuable addition to many medical teaching programs, and will help<br />

stimulate further development of standardized approaches to simulation-based teaching and<br />

assessment.<br />

We are grateful for the support of G.S. Beckwith Gilbert and the Gilbert Family<br />

Foundation. Special thanks to the Simulation Fellows, Staff, and Faculty who made this work<br />

possible.<br />
