SBIRT Simulation Exercises
Session 8: Two (2) SBIRT Simulation Exercises
Each participant will be given the option to apply the knowledge and skills learned to two live simulation activities with a trained standardized patient. These simulations are optional but highly recommended.
Each simulation session will last approximately 15 minutes and will be followed up by feedback from an expert after each session.
Simulations must be scheduled by outreaching to Amy Wales at amy.wales@miccsi.org
Total Time: 60 total minutes (30 minutes per simulation exercise)
Objectives
- Applying the use of assessment screening (AUDIT and DAST)
- Responding appropriately to the simulated patient based on the risk score.
