In this joint episode with The Emergency Mind podcast, Vic Brazil and Dan Dworkis talk about ‘stress exposure’ simulation/ training, and how we prepare ourselves and our teams to perform under pressure. We started with a general discussion about the need for this kind of training and how others have approached it. There are some fantastic resources on this topic, including this one from First10EM.
The main conversation was our recent article - Exploring participant experience to optimize the design and delivery of stress exposure simulations in emergency medicine.
In our conversation we also talked about adaptive expertise, the book ‘Teams that Work’, and Dan’s application of mental rehearsal and principles from martial arts.
Happy listening!

Training to listen effectively is a powerful skill that can transform our conversations in healthcare simulation, clinical work and even our home lives. In this episode Vic interviews Rebecca Minehart, Ben Symon and Laura Rock on their Harvard Business Review article “What’s your Listening Style” in order to deepen our understanding of what listening is, how it can be classified and how we can use this knowledge to shape the ways we connect with the humans around us.
If you’d like to explore what your listening style is, you can check out the quiz in Bodie’s 2013 paper here.

In our latest Advances in Sim collaborative episode, we talk about how to establish and sustain in situ simulation (ISS) programs on health services. Ben and Vic were joined by Susan Eller who is lead author on an important article on this topic: Leading change in practice: how “longitudinal prebriefing” nurtures and sustains in situ simulation programs.
Susan is Associate Dean for Immersive Learning and Learning Spaces at the Center for Immersive and simulation Based learning at Stanford, and a long time friend of Simulcast. Her co-authors for this article are Jenny Rudolph, Stephanie Barwick, Sarah Janssens, and Komal Bajaj.
In the episode we discuss the challenges for ISS: space, time, people, resources, safety; but also the opportunities: exploring work environments and the people in them, and probing systems and processes. The authors recognised the need for patient, systematic engagement with staff across healthcare institutions, and take us through their journeys in three separate ISS programs. They call their implementation approach ‘longitudinal prebriefing’. This great work is a reminder of how we need to play the ‘long game’ as simulation faculty, and to embrace ISS implementation as an organisational change challenge.

Healthcare debriefings have been primarily informed by theories and expert opinions but in this episode Ben explores with Michaela Kolbe how her team took on the remarkable endeavour to code over 18,000 debriefing micro-events from 50 simulation debriefings to uncover the quantitative mysteries inside ‘the black box of debriefing’.
Join us as we explore the evolving evidence on what ‘Advocacy and Inquiry’ actually leads to in a debrief, as well as the surprising impact of praise, paraphrasing and guess what I’m thinking questions.
