227 Simulcast Journal Club August 2026

Learner-centred debriefing is not learner-controlled debriefing. Effective facilitators move along a learner-to-instructor continuum, keep curriculum purpose visible and redirect low-value drift; the wider journal club considers tiered faculty development, cognitive aids built for trained teams, and selective closed-loop communication during emergencies.

226 Simulcast: AMEE Simulation Journal Club 2026

Simulation impact should not be reduced to learner satisfaction or a single patient outcome. Logic models, difference-in-differences designs and translational simulation help connect resources, activities and system effects, while behavioural marker systems work best as shared developmental language rather than hidden scoring tools.

225 Simulcast Journal Club July 2026

Simulation educators and human-factors teams get a journal-club review of AI-assisted debriefing, code switching, facilitator cognitive load and nursing simulation research. It emphasises matching the technology to the learning aim, maintaining human oversight, protecting data and reducing unnecessary complexity for learners and faculty.

224 Simulcast Turns Ten

Medical educators and human-factors teams get a systems-focused discussion of simulation as a testbed for devices, workflows and service redesign. Translational simulation, simulated participants, rapport, telehealth, community care, AI-enabled workflows and measurable outcomes are framed as tools for safer implementation.

223 Simulcast Journal Club May 2026

Collapsed-child and paediatric cardiac arrest simulation make this more than an education-methods journal club. It links eye tracking, augmented reality decision support, moulage safety and process evaluation with whether a trainer or cognitive aid actually improves team work.

222 Simulcast Journal Club April 2026

The pitfall here is trusting polished output too quickly. Open this journal club for a sharp review of AI-assisted debriefing, mannequin realism and checklist-heavy safety work, with a strong reminder that omissions, non-verbal cues and team culture still need human judgement.
