Simulcast

Nemat Alsaba @talk2nemat    Nemat drops in for #HcSimWeek19 to share about 2 great sim projects she is involved with at Gold Coast University Hospital and Bond University

Stephanie Barwick @InSituSteph  Steph dropped by for #HcSimWeek19 to share the work of the Mater Education team. Definitely big friends of Simulcast and hosts of the Simulcast Journal Curry Club!

Vic speaks with Kirsty Forrest (@forrest_kirsty) Glance about simulation, book writing and lifelong learning. Kirsty and Judy McKimm have co-edited an easy to read book with diverse contributors.  The book can be viewed/ purchased here.   https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Healthcare+Simulation+at+a+Glance-p-9781118871836   

Looking for great online simulation education resources for yourself or for your team’s faculty development?   In this episode Vic speaks with Christina Choung (@ckchoung) and Karen Schafer (@KarenShafer) from Vancouver Coastal Health about their new resources at https://bcsimulation.ca/  (you can also get there via https://simulation.vchlearn.ca/ )  We talked about the content of these modules, the challenges of faculty development, and some lessons learned for those of us trying to develop online resources in simulation education.  @BCSimNet  on Twitter

The Australasian Simulation Congress is on 2nd–5th September at the Gold Coast. Check out the website-https://www.simulationcongress.com/ Vic spoke to Sharon Clipperton (@sjclipperton), the Congress convenor about the keynote speakers, abstracts and other highlights of the event. We also spoke with Komal Bajaj (@KomalBajajMD) about her talk–change, sustainability and ‘new power’ in simulation....The Simulcast team will be covering proceedings, as well as hosting a “Simulcast presents” session with interviews, and a live journal club recording on stage! See you there.

This is a mini episode update on how we at Simulcast would love to celebrate healthcare simulation week 2019.

Ben and Vic discuss the paper of the month,   Bochatay, N., Bajwa, N., Blondon, K., Junod Perron, N., Cullati, S. and Nendaz, M.

In this, another joint feature with Advances in Simulation journal, we explore three main ideas: Why does simulation have such a symbiosis with culture? How to we understand more about this relationship? ie. there is nothing so practical as a good theory. What does can this teach us about targeting culture as a translational objective in a sim program? To answer these questions we stir in the ingredients of a thriving simulation program/service at Gold Coast University Hospital, two pieces of academic work from our guests, and some personal reflection along the way. The guests for this episode are Simulcast partner in crime, Victoria Brazil, and the very clever, Canadian Emergency Doc, Anthropologist, author and adventurer on temporary loan to Australia, Eve Purdy.
