Written testimonials from program evaluations
The debriefs are helpful for bringing up issues that arise in these situations without it being in a confrontational manner
I think the discussion after the simulation is very helpful because it allows everyone to learn the thought process behind every learner and their roles in an emergent situation. Understanding everyone's part can help improve communication and expectations during these situations
One really appreciated the debrief as much as the exercise itself
Continue creating a safe environment and open communication
It makes me feel so proud to work here. We deal with emergencies, but it is good to see how we can do better and improve
