The Student as Teacher program has prepared 100 first aid instructors

An interactive e-learning was created for the theoretical preparation of students containing, among other things, over 40 short videos, which describe the topics previously held in lectures and thus transfer the comlete theoretical level to a distant form. However, the first aid trainings met a rather greater innovations. Students will be divided into small groups of 5-6 people. These groups will attend practical teaching based on small simulations in the field of first aid, which are thematically sorted and logically follow each other. During the lesson students will try not only the role of a first-aid provider, but also the role of a standardized patient or, for example, an emergency services dispatcher. This group of students will always be lead by their senior colleague, a student who completed the Student as Teacher program for this purpose in the past year. Within the program, students learned the basics of simulation teaching and simulation creation, developed their communication skills, trained to discover the performance gaps in students' performance in simulations and practised debriefing. After the workshops lasting more than 40 hours, over 100 students passed also an examination, after which they became full-fledged first-aid instructors for teaching at SIMU. At the moment, they are able to lead their group of students through the lesson, assign the pre-prepared simulations, observe their students during the simulation and subsequently, lead a structured debriefing and develop both the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills of new students.
