The Moderator Mindset

The Moderator defines the experience. SimONE is not a presentation, it is a guided clinical journey.

Key Principles

Be engaging and confident.
Master the controls in Sandbox Mode first so you can focus on the camera and the audience. Lead the clinical scenario with authority.
Example: “Welcome. Today, we are going to review a patient case and make clinical decisions together."
Encourage participation
Invite voluntary contributions from the room without singling anyone out.
Example: "Looking at this patient profile, what stands out first?"
Facilitate dialogue, not lectures
Turn monologues into discussions by asking open-ended questions that challenge the group.
Example: "Based on these symptoms, what clinical barriers might we face with this treatment?"
Create anticipation before interactions
Build clinical suspense by intentionally pausing before revealing the next step or test result.
Example: "Before we move to the next screen, what lab results are we expecting to see?"
Give participants time to think and respond
Embrace the silence by giving attendees quiet time to process the information before answering.
Example: "Let's take 30 seconds to review this; feel free to ask questions when ready."

When leading virtual sessions, you shape the pace of the experience. Remember:

"Move All Forward": This action advances everyone's screen simultaneously. Always allow time for reflection before moving on.

"Move Back": This action moves the entire group back to the previous screen.

Important: Once you reach the Waiting Room, you cannot go back. Doing so will break the results interaction for the entire session.
