The Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), Herlev Section within the Center for Human Resources and Education is looking for a PhD Candidate in an EU-funded project. The PhD project will consist of a field work in Danish operation theatres to identify potential conflicts, current ways of handling them, and to describe learning needs to improve conflict management. Based on this analysis, interventions will be developed and tested. The work will be conducted in close collaboration between CAMES and the participating hospital(s). The employment will be with CAMES. The position starts from April 15 or as soon as possible after that date. The position is limited to 36 month. In this time the PhD studies, and the PhD thesis are expected to be finished.
Description of the position and the project
CAMES is one of the world leading simulation centres, providing courses for approximately 25.000 participants per year. A multiprofessional team provides the infrastructure for approximately 120 clinicians working with teaching, development, and research. CAMES is part of an EU-funded doctoral network, “Tools4Teams” that investigates different instruments and tools to support teamwork in different parts of the healthcare system.
The Tools4Teams EU Erasmus+ consortium combines in-depth learning within acute and chronic health care settings, to generate fundamental knowledge on cognitive, affective, and behavioural team interaction processes and how these processes can be supported by innovative tools for teams. Through translation of this fundamental knowledge across settings, Tools4Teams aims to respond to the challenges related to increased complexity of modern health care. Central themes are innovative support tools for teams (i.e. physiological sensors, information integration platforms, and AR/VR technology) and team competences (i.e. reflection, conflict management and multi team functioning) to continuously learn about how, when, where and by whom application of these tools is valuable, acceptable, and ethical. The main goal of Tools4Teams is to train 12 highly skilled doctoral candidates in six European countries with in-depth knowledge and cross disciplinary expertise in methods for research on teamwork and health services, design and system thinking, and ethics, complemented with transferable and networking skills, an entrepreneurial mind-set and experience of industrial application.
This PhD project is placed in the secondary sector, in operation rooms. The effective and efficient perioperative care requires a range of cognitive and social skills that are well established and are trained with some success in and outside of simulation. However, at times conflicts can make it more difficult to apply those skills. Therefore, the conceptualisation of cognitive and social skills is intended to be enlarged, to also comprise conflict management techniques, adding an emotional component. As there is not much time for managing conflicts in the operating room, the PhD will contribute to find out, what is possible in this setting, and what preventive and resolving measures can be taken before and after cases.
The PhD studies will be performed with the University of Copenhagen, Department of Public Health.
