Healthcare simulation competitions are one way for companies and organizations to encourage new ideas across the industry. Recently, the International Virtual Reality Healthcare Association (IVRHA) hosted a Patient Safety Technology Challenge that asked for idea submissions that could help design a radically safer healthcare system. This HealthySimulation.com article shares more about this amazing contest, and [...]

Healthcare simulation educators play an important role in the training of medical learners. To be able to effectively provide instruction, these clinical simulation professionals must continually work to increase their own professional development. The website Evaluating Healthcare Simulation, created to provide healthcare simulation educators and researchers with freely available instruments (tools), shared more information about [...]

The field of healthcare simulation has made tremendous strides forward over the past several decades. One way this revolution is made possible is through clinical simulation research being conducted across the globe. The journal Clinical Simulation in Nursing is constantly sharing updates that include article reviews, more information on standards of best practice, research briefs, [...]

Healthcare simulation continues to evolve with new technologies and methods that only increase the impact on learning in the clinical setting. Complex healthcare simulations are clinically technical in nature, but the medical simulation scenarios portrayed can be emotional as well. Realistically, including this emotion in healthcare simulation is challenging with a manikin or task trainer. [...]
