A recent Biodesign Innovation class got off to an unusual start. Instead of asking students to pull out their laptops and listen to a lecture, organizers handed out envelopes assigning students to mysterious roles as a patient, caregiver or observer. Then, the students left grad school behind. For the next hour, the students immersed themselves in chaotic, sometimes wrenching hospital scenarios that included an emergency room; a quiet patient room where a woman lay dying; and physical therapy consultation with an ornery fall victim.

What do you do when you know someone is going to die? I’m not talking about death when it comes at the end of a long protracted illness or a terminal diagnosis. Or the final act at the end of a long life, when the body and mind have ultimately given way.

Patient care scenarios provide an opportunity for learners to apply classroom material and isolated skill practice in realistic situations. The NREMT now requires paramedic students to demonstrate competency in scenarios that cover a variety of topic areas over the course of the program, and the new NREMT Psychomotor Competency Exam includes a patient care scenario. Scenarios can also be used to engage learners in continuing education to cover required competency areas, implement new protocols or roll out new equipment.

For medical student Katie Goldrath, the first time delivering difficult health news came when she had to tell a young woman named Robin and her mom, Delmy, that Robin had leukemia.

The conversation, though, was just for practice.
