Is Clinical Expertise Enough?
What is the difference between an educational presentation that effectively facilitates the transfer of knowledge and one that makes a participant want to run out of the room screaming with secondary to acute boredom syndrome? Is clinical expertise in a given area enough to be an effective educator?
Most of us have attended presentations in which the educator was indeed knowledgeable, perhaps even expert, about the subject matter but was unable to convey that knowledge in a way that was retained by participants. Recognizing the significance of this problem, the Triage Specialist Course team created as part of our five-day course a full day of techniques, tools, and methods to enhance the strengths and improve the weaknesses of each participant's public speaking skills. To conclude this day's activities, each participant presents a "mini-lecture" applicable to emergency nursing. which is then critiqued by their peers based on what they have learned throughout the day. This has proved to be a valuable experience for the participants.
Michelle Tracy, one of the successful graduates of the Triage Specialist Course, presented a "mini-lecture" during the TSC that provided a glimpse into a lecture she was invited to present in April at SESS (Southeastern Seaboard Symposium). Michelle's lecture at SESS, "Chemicals and Kids: A Pediatric Disaster," discussed an actual disaster involving a large chlorine gas exposure at a public swimming pool. This exposure resulted in multiple victims presenting to her ED who required decontamination and further care. Michelle's reflections on how the TSC helped her prepare include, "This has helped me in becoming a TSC educator, helping me to focus on delivery styles, voice tone, and presentation - as well as the material. There is not enough practice that can be done!" Thanks, Michelle, for sharing some of the tools you learned at the TSC that helped you be an effective educator!
