SELF Nairobi September Workshop
Nairobi, Kenya | 14-15 September 2025
As part of the collaboration with the East, Central, and Southern Africa College of Nursing and Midwifery (ECSACONM), this workshop in Nairobi, Kenya convened ECSACONM-affiliated developers to advance simulation-based training modules in high-priority clinical areas. The list of modules under development was available at www.self.surgery/ecsaconm.
Building on the foundational work and module specifications established during previous workshops in Zimbabwe and Malawi, the session focused on completing the remaining components of each module, including:
Knowledge Teaching: Structured core instructional content and identified effective delivery formats.
Clinical Cases: Designed scenario sets to strengthen reasoning and decision-making skills.
Psychomotor Training & Assessment: Defined and outlined task practice, performance metrics, and self-administered skills assessment tools.
Simulator Development: Advanced physical simulator designs, materials, and build guidelines.
Evidence: Identified data needs and approaches to evaluate module effectiveness.
By the end of the workshop, participants left with a clear, actionable development plan to move toward complete and testable simulation modules.
