In search of the ‘Magic Circle’ in healthcare simulation
By:Victoria Brazil (@SocraticEM) There’s a particular kind of hush that falls over a living room when children start playing. Not “I’m bored” play. Not “here’s an app” play. The real thing: a blanket fort becomes a […]
EHRs, cardiac arrests, and why simulation needs to be more than a training day
By:Victoria Brazil (@SocraticEM) Most clinicians don’t need convincing that electronic health records can be hard work. Even on a calm day, EHRs can feel clunky, slow, and oddly disconnected from how clinical work actually happens. During […]
Bridging Two Worlds: Human Factors and Translational Simulation in Healthcare
By:Victoria Brazil (@SocraticEM) Healthcare simulation has long been an essential part of training clinicians and teams. But as the field matures, the simulation community is embracing a broader, more systemic use of simulation; extending beyond education […]
Beyond the training: Outreach Simulation and Systems Change
By: Victoria Brazil (@SocraticEM) We’ve all felt the awkward pause in the conversation: “So… how do you know your sim program improves patient outcomes?” It’s the uncomfortable moment when good intentions collide with the reality of […]
