My responsibility for this workshop was to proceed with a handover of a patient to an intern (played by Dr. Michael Adamson).
This was a particularly disasterous session. My performance was not only unfit within the scope of academic criteria, but was clearly short of acceptable for a real-world SBAR.
During the reading of the scenario I was daunted by the task of having to SBAR report a patient to admission at a hostpital, based on information I was reading for the first time; my practice with the hand-over system was minimal prior to the session. As such, I became flustered. I attempted to compose myself, and strategize how I could memorize the information within 2-3 minutes and give a concise report to Dr. Adamson, keeping in mind the possibility of a PACE scenario. I felt confident entering the simulated room after deciding I could feign a competent 10 minute session. While I was reporting the details of the patients chart, I was attempting to decipher what the situation was concerned with (typically being some conflict with the SP). Consequently I was preparing for an aspect of the exercise that did not exist, which may have drawn away from focusing on the actual task at hand, the SBAR. …show more content…
Also, I was unable to respond correctly to most of the questions regarding what was pertinent in communicating to the intern. As Dr. Adamson soon dissolved from his SP character into his role as facilitator, I was quite emabarassed that I performed such a basic medical procedure so poorly not only in front of my peers, but also in front of one of the academics that instruct the SBAR system. It reminded me of the exetent of inexperience I have, especially as a non-science graduate. I am disappointed that there are still gaps in both my clinical understanding and practical ability, even well into my second year of
