Enhancing Authenticity in Simulation Using Appropriate Techniques of Moulage

Brem, Beate; Schnabel, Kai; Wüst, Sandra (June 2016). Enhancing Authenticity in Simulation Using Appropriate Techniques of Moulage (Unpublished). In: 2016 Annual Conference of the Association of Standardized Patient Educators. Tampa, Florida, USA. 26.-29.06.2016.

Workshop Overview
The use of special effects (moulage) is a way to augment the authenticity of a scenario in simulation. This workshop will introduce different techniques of moulage (oil based cream colors, watercolors, transfer tattoos and 3D Prosthetics). The participants will have the opportunity to explore these
techniques by applying various moulages. They will compare the techniques and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, strategies for standardization and quality assurance will be
discussed.
Workshop Rationale
Moulage supports the sensory perception in an scenario (1). It can provide evaluation clues (2) and help learners (and SPs) to engage in the simulation. However, it is of crucial importance that the simulated physical pathologies are represented accurate and reliable. Accuracy is achieved by using
the appropriate technique, which requires knowledge and practice . With information about different moulage techniques, we hope to increases the knowledge of moulage during the workshop. By applying moulages in various techniques we will practice together. As standardization is critical for simulation scenarios in assessment (3, 4) strategies for standardization of moulage will be introduced and discussed.
Workshop Objectives
During the workshop participants will:
- gain knowledge about different techniques of moulages
- practice moulages in various techniques
- discuss the advantages and disadvantages of moulage techniques
- describe strategies for standardization and quality assurance of moulage
