The Future of Simulation

Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Nursing

Abstract

Attempting to forecast simulation’s future, especially amid a global pandemic, is a fool’s game. However, as educators and researchers in the field of simulation; analyzing, understanding, and sharing learnings are essential for future planning. Reflection, learning, anticipation, and adaptation are fundamentals of human cognition, performance, and evolution—and core principles of simulation. By sharing simulation experiences (stories) that emerged in response to COVID-19, others may garnish ideas and reflections on how local solutions might generalize across institutional and geographical borders and assist with future planning during these uncertain yet exciting times for the field of simulation.
