#64 Simulation 101: Lessons from the Sim Center & Beyond with guest Dr. Sandy Zabar
Episode Description
In this episode, our esteemed guest, Dr. Sondra (Sandy) Zabar, reminds us that simulation is not a place or a piece of technology—it is an educational methodology. Join us for a practical tour of optimizing and creating simulation-based health professions education. We cover when simulation adds value, how to build a focused scenario, why practice and feedback matter, how OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examinations) and standardized patients can support both learning and assessment, and how simulation can extend into clinical systems through “secret shopper” approaches. We also discuss interprofessional simulation, low-cost options, and emerging uses of AI for practice and individualized feedback.
