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 [...]
Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a commonly used method for the inculcation of important interprofessional knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding future healthcare providers. IPE is not a novel phenomenon despite the method’s growing interest. The World Health Organization is likely credited with igniting the recent push toward the inclusion of IPE as an expected aspect of [...]
The intrusion of COVID-19 forced healthcare simulation programs to pivot to meet educational demands and adhere to mandated in-person gathering restrictions. Most programs did this through the use of some form of distance simulation (also referred to as virtual simulation). This HealthySimulation.com article explains how the use of virtual simulation vastly expanded during COVID-19, and [...]
