The Disruptive Power of Simulation Education: Enhancing Coping and Resiliency Skills in the Health Professions

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, the demand for competent and resilient healthcare professionals is more critical than ever. The inherent challenges and uncertainties faced by healthcare practitioners have underscored the need to equip them with robust coping and resiliency skills. Simulation-based learning has emerged as a powerful educational tool to foster experiential learning, enabling students to develop essential competencies in a safe and controlled environment.

This presentation aims to explore the revolutionary potential of simulation in healthcare education to disrupt the status quo by imparting coping and resiliency skills to future healthcare professionals. We will delve into the following key areas:

• Understanding the Need for Coping and Resiliency Skills in Healthcare
• The Power of Simulation in Experiential Learning
• Integrating Coping and Resiliency Training in Simulation
• Assessing the Effectiveness of Simulation-Based Coping Training
• Overcoming Challenges and Building Scalable Solutions
• Future Directions and Implications

This presentation advocates for the transformative power of simulation in healthcare education, urging educators and institutions to embrace this disruptive approach to teaching coping and resiliency skills. By nurturing adept and adaptable practitioners, we can not only enhance patient care outcomes but also cultivate a sustainable and thriving healthcare workforce.
