Healthcare Simulation allows adult clinical learners to gain knowledge and train skills by doing, which is especially true for Gen Z learners. First aid education is a topic where remembering key procedures, skills, questions, timing, steps and mnemonics may literally mean the difference between life and death. Failure to be able to call upon learned [...]

When people think about deploying healthcare simulation education, many educators tend to think of manikin-based, standardized patient-based (SP), or computer-based (includes virtual reality), but to a lesser degree, consider table-top simulation (TTS) as an option. The use of board games in education is far from a new concept. Research supports the use of games in [...]

Distance healthcare simulation is not an entirely new idea. This tactic of clinical simulation delivery has been around for several years, but COVID really propelled the concept into the spotlight. Out of the necessity to continue to educate healthcare students using the well-established simulation-based educational (SBE) approaches well-known in the industry, invention was necessary to [...]

ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have serious potential to impact Healthcare Simulation. Recently the headlines have been touting some advances in generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), ChatGPT and Bard, which are two competing brands of this technology. For those less familiar, ChatGPT and Bard are AI chatbots. ChatGPT is created by Open AI and Bard [...]
