EPISODE 2, COVID-19 preparation: Our call to action: Amar Patel and Stefan Monk, Chief Medical Officer for CAE Healthcare, offer advice for clinical professionals currently in the workforce and those who are volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic shines a spotlight on critical need for more healthcare professionals, they assert that future simulation training will need to be even more efficient.
EPISODE 3, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the COVID-19 pandemic: Even in normal times, healthcare providers can face challenges of stress, burnout, and a strong desire to help every patient succeed and get well. In this unprecedented era for all clinicians, how can we prevent PTSD and take care of each other? CAE Healthcare Chief Learning Officer Amar Patel and Chief Medical Officer Stefan Monk offer their personal perspectives and advice.
EPISODE 4, Augmented reality in healthcare education: The future is now 24 April 2020 Following their augmented reality seminar at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in late January 2020, Eric Kamont, director of Mixed Reality Partnerships for Microsoft Corporation, and Amar Patel sat down to converse about new learning approaches and banter about North Carolina barbeque.
EPISODE 5, The COVID-19 balancing act — Mental health, telehealth and the next generation: In Episode 5, Amar Patel speaks to Dr. Tara Bastek, a neonatologist, bioethicist and simulation educator with a Master’s degree in Public Health from Harvard University.Currently serving as Chair of the Medical Ethics Committee and Associate Medical Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for WakeMed Health, Dr. Bastek offers her views on isolating with family, where to find factual information and the COVID-19 impact on society and healthcare.

EPISODE 6, Simulation ROI, Advocacy, and Embracing Your Hypocrisy: Earlier this year, Amar Patel met up with fellow podcaster Janice Palaganas, PhD, RN, NP, ANEF, FNAP, FAAN, FSSH. She is Director of Educational Innovation & Development for the Center for Medical Simulation at Harvard Medical School, an Assistant Professor of Nursing, and also a co-creator of the PhD curriculum for simulation educators at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston. In a discussion that ranges from the practical to the philosophical, Janice shares her passion for interprofessional education, advocacy and embracing your hypocrisy.
EPISODE 7, COVID-19 and the Acceleration of Creative Digital Learning: In Episode 7, Amar Patel speaks to Dan Limmer, a paramedic, police officer, EMS educator and cofounder of Limmer Education. From audio applications to gamification, EMS education is entering a new era of online and distance learning. Dan Limmer believes it will ultimately improve student interaction and decision-making. “We’re all looking for the iPhone of online education. We’re all looking for that innovation.”
EPISODE 8, Certification and Accreditation in Simulation — Why it Matters: In Episode 8, Amar Patel interviews Andrew Spain, MA, EMT-P, who is Director of Certification for the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH). While certification and accreditation can seem daunting, over 2,500 simulation professionals from 39 countries have achieved designation as Certified Healthcare Simulation Educators (CHSE) and Certified Healthcare Operations Specialists (CHSOS), and 174 programs from 21 countries have achieved SSH Accreditation . Learn how you can begin your journey.
EPISODE 9, Four Barriers to Simulation and How to Conquer Them: Episode 9 of Simulation Debrief features Charles “Chuck” Pozner, MD, a simulation pioneer and Executive Director of the STRATUS Center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, one of the most prominent hospital-based simulation centers in the U.S. Dr. Ponzer offers sage advice on the importance of a team vision and mission, overcoming fears and the mandate of leaders today. “If you don’t lower the barriers to simulation, people will not use your sim center. Every single simulation you do needs to hit the spot.” Dr. Charles Pozner.
EPISODE 10, The Promise of Simulation: Better Patient Outcomes: Amar Patel speaks to Dr. Richard Friedland, DPM, a surgeon, early adopter with 15 years of experience in simulation and board member of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare about AR vs VR, how learners move from competence to confidence, and redefining simulation from “one size fits all” to custom learning experiences.
EPISODE 11, Tales from the ER: How COVID-19 Caregivers Are Coping: In Episode 11, Amar Patel speaks to Dr. Derek Monette, Emergency Medicine Physician and Medical Education Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Monette has developed a debriefing program for ER clinicians to help them prepare for the emotional and ethical challenges around COVID-19 care.
EPISODE 12, Designing a Whole New Patient Ventilator: The CAE Air1 Journey: How did a simulation company focused on training pivot to designing, building and shipping more than 10,000 patient ventilators to save lives during the COVID-19 pandemic? This week, Amar Patel interviews CAE Healthcare Engineering Director Erick Fortin and Project Manager Mona Safadi to gain an inside perspective on the journey.
