Abstract

Introduction and objective: Different medical specialities use simulation-based teaching to learn clinical skills. Members of the ‘Alicia Koplowitz Foundation Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Scientists – Education subsection’ developed an educational project with simulation-based clinical workshops for Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology trainees. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical workshops that were given and the participants’ satisfaction level. Methods: The clinical workshops for Psychiatry trainees (MIR) and Clinical Psychology trainees (PIR) are held every year and have a duration of eight hours. Participants were required to complete a registration form before the workshop from which we obtained the data. In addition, participants completed a satisfaction survey after the workshop. Results: Since 2018, five workshops have taken place. In total, 156 trainees (80.8% women) have participated. 55.8% were MIR and 44.2% were PIR. More than 85% of the participants rated the simulation-based workshops with the highest satisfaction score and more than 95% considered that they were useful or very useful. Discussion and conclusion: Clinical simulation may enhance motivation and implication in learning and could be a valuable tool for teaching for child and adolescent mental health providers.
