The importance of debriefing after a medical simulation session


Medical simulation is an essential tool for training health professionals and improving patient care; the debriefing is the final and crucial step.


The debriefing after a medical simulation session allows you to:

  • Improve learner skills

  • Allow them to express their impressions

  • Target their errors to avoid their repetition

  • Perfect their techniques

  • Allow them to analyze their strengths and weaknesses

  • Allow them to manage stress

  • Help them progress in order to improve the quality of care

18% : A study published in the Journal of Graduate Medical Education showed that learners who received video debriefing experienced an 18% improvement in clinical skills compared to those who received traditional debriefing.

27% : A survey conducted by the Association for Surgical Education found that the use of videos in surgical debriefing helped reduce errors by 27%.


Edgar Dale's pyramid shows that we remember only 10% of what we read, while we remember 90% of what we say and do.

Improving the quality of healthcare, reducing medical errors, improving training are all reasons to invest in a video debriefing system, a unique system: SimMotion.

Without constraints of cables or distance thanks to wifi and 4G, SimMotion can be installed in less than 5 minutes, just one click is enough to start the system, with a battery life of 2 days.
