SImulationist's Guide to The Rise of Human Simulation in Healthcare

In our Season 4 Episode 2 conversation, we explore the evolving terminology and concepts surrounding standardized patients and human simulation in healthcare education.

Amy and Megan discuss the recent changes in definitions, the challenges of consistency in research, and the importance of psychological safety for both learners and participants. They also highlight the future of certification in human simulation and the need for collaboration among various associations to advance the field.

This conversation delves into the recent developments in accreditation standards for human simulation, focusing on the SSH and ASPE organizations. The speakers discuss the implications of these standards for simulation education, the importance of human simulation, and the role of standardized patients. They also explore the future of simulation in the context of AI integration and the need for advocacy for standardized patients.

About Avkin

Avkin was started by a nurse simulationist at the University of Delaware who saw the need for a better way to educate her students. She went to the engineering department with an idea to develop a wearable tracheostomy prototype.

After other companies would not license the technology, we submitted a poster at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). We won first prize for innovation and technology at the conference and decided we would start our own company.

Avkin has grown exponentially over the years, expanding product lines beyond wearable simulators and into standardized patient methodology and consulting.
