Students' and Instructors' Perspectives on Learning and Professional Development in the Context of Interprofessional Simulation.

Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education is a potentially valuable pedagogical approach in health professional education. Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education merits more empirical exploration particularly in terms of experiences from different perspectives. The study aims to provide a multi-perspective in-depth understanding of students' engagement in a simulation-based interprofessional learning environment.

Simulation educators in clinical work: the manager's perspective.

Purpose: Information is scarce on healthcare managers' understanding of simulation educators' impact on clinical work. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore healthcare managers' perceptions of the significance of clinically active simulation educators for the organisation.

Design/methodology/approach: Healthcare managers were invited to be interviewed in a semi-structured manner.

Students' understanding of teamwork and professional roles after interprofessional simulation-a qualitative analysis.

Background: This study explores how interprofessional simulation-based education (IPSE) can contribute to a change in students' understanding of teamwork and professional roles. A series of 1-day training sessions was arranged involving undergraduate nursing and medical students. Scenarios were designed for practicing teamwork principles and interprofessional communication skills by endorsing active participation by all team members.

Confident but not theoretically grounded - experienced simulation educators' perceptions of their own professional development.

Background: Medical simulation enables the design of learning activities for competency areas (eg, communication and leadership) identified as crucial for future health care professionals. Simulation educators and medical teachers follow different career paths, and their education backgrounds and teaching contexts may be very different in a simulation setting. Although they have a key role in facilitating learning, information on the continuing professional development (pedagogical development) of simulation educators is not available in the literature.
