Welcome to the Center for Medical Simulation’s Grand Rounds presentation of the new publication in Advances in Simulation, “The Advocacy Inquiry Rubric (AIR), a Standard to Build Debriefing and Feedback Skills”.

Lead author Clément Buléon, an anesthesiologist based in Caen, France, joins CMS Senior Director of Innovation Jenny Rudolph and CMS Assistant Director of Instructional Design James Lipshaw, both co-authors on the paper, to discuss how the AIR can be used to give effective, efficient feedback on questions in debriefing and feedback conversations. Our belief is that this tool can be used like the DASH to help educators improve their own performance in learning conversations, as well as the performance of others.

In addition to discussing the structure and use of the AIR, James presents a series of debriefer videos to Clement and Jenny, who then have to use the AIR to provide feedback to the debriefer. We hope to model how you can “see through the eyes of the AIR” to provide effective, standards-based feedback for educators.

Instead of threats about the consequences of not staffing their clinics adequately during the holidays, a healthcare leader was persuaded to present the staffing goal as a challenge and ask for solutions from the team for how to get there: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822
