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.

Ben and Vic talk about four articles from the healthcare simulation literature. This month we had a focus on simulation debriefing and on simulation design and delivery to optimise transfer to practice.

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.

Hierarchy is pervasive in healthcare, and current strategies to train providers to ‘speak up’ are not enough to overcome the intense challenges that hierarchy creates. In this episode, Vic talks with Taryn Taylor and Adam Garber about their recent articles in Advances in Simulation. Both studies explore the experience of practitioners working in teams managing obstetric emergences. Their studies use clever scenario design and delivery to re-create hierarchy and power gradients, as an example of ‘sociological fidelity’.
Their insights are comprehensive, confronting but deeply resonant for healthcare professionals. We discuss their methods, their findings and what this might mean for simulation being part of the solution to addressing harms caused by hierarchy.
