Growing as debriefers, together: eight tips for launching and sustaining an online Meta-Debrief Club

Meta-debriefing, otherwise known as ‘debriefing the debrief’, offers simulation faculty an ongoing opportunity to iteratively develop their debriefing skills. Online meta-debriefing provides a uniquely accessible format that supports geographically dispersed simulation educators, fosters diverse perspectives, and enables sustained professional development opportunities beyond traditional in-person constraints. Drawing upon our experience as a diverse team tasked with setting up the Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) Meta-Debrief Club, here we present eight practice guidelines, or ‘tips’, to support online meta-debriefing. These tips are aligned with the four fundamental pillars that underpin meta-debriefing practice and can be adapted to various contexts and platforms.
