National research on the postgraduate student experience:Case presentation on postgraduate student diversity (Volume 2 of 3)

This is volume two of a set of three case studies that explore the postgraduate student experience. The theme of this case study is postgraduate student diversity and is based on experiences derived from student engagement breakfasts, interviews, and focus groups with 366 people across the stakeholder groups of postgraduate students, educators, and university executives from 26 institutions. The case studies constitute part of the output from the project, Engaging postgraduate students and supporting higher education to enhance the 21st century student experience

Assessing Quality Simulated Participant Programs: A Case Study of Bond University’s Simulated Participant Program

Assessing the quality of Simulated Participant Programs (SPPs) has long been a challenge for health professions faculty. A number of frameworks exist to determine markers of quality in SPPs, such as the Association of Standardised Patient Educators (ASPE) Standards of Best Practice (SOBP) and the UK Simulated Patient Common Framework (Lewis et al, 2017; Gough et al., 2015). Both frameworks present domains for assessing quality in the areas of working environments, program management, training, risk assessment and other quality assurance issues. This abstract presents the review of the Bond UniversitySimulated Participant Program in 2021 and 2022, which utilised the UK Simulated Patient Common Framework.ResultsOver the course of the review, the Bond University Participant Program demonstrated significant improvement between the first and second reviews. In 2021, the 5 domains (Resource considerations, recruitment and selection process, training requirements, risk assessments and quality assurance procedures) were either not met or partially met. In 2022, 4 out of 5 domains were met, with one area remaining partially met - challenges remain with regards to issues of ensuring staff diversity and minimising stereotypes.ConclusionsThe framework was a useful tool for evaluating the quality benchmarks of an SPP, however, there were gaps in the framework that present opportunities for the simulation and health professions community to explore
