Tabletop simulations (TTS) are a novel educational modality used in health care education. The objective of this scoping review was to describe the use of TTS in medical emergencies, specifically settings, specialties, participants, formats, and outcomes.We included 70 studies (33 descriptive studies [47%], 33 cohort studies [47%], and 2 randomized controlled trials [3%]), of which 65 reported positive results regarding reaction and learning educational outcomes (reaction: n = 37, 53%; learning: n = 25, 36%; behavior: n = 7, 10%; result: n = 1, 1%).

Article Synopsis
- This study followed 672 emergency department patients with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) over two years to track changes in pain intensity, frequency, and overall quality of life.
- Results showed that while many patients improved, 58.1% were NCCP-free after two years, with four distinct pain progression groups identified: worsening, persistent, limited improvement, and remission trajectories.
- Notably, those in the remission group had better physical and mental quality of life compared to others, highlighting the need for healthcare focus on the persistent symptoms affecting over 40% of the patients.
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are expected to "revolutionise" healthcare. However, despite their promises, their integration within healthcare organisations and systems remains limited. The objective of this study is to explore and understand the systemic challenges and implications of their integration in a leading Canadian academic hospital.

In response, a growing number of scholars have been embracing arts-based knowledge translation (ABKT) to target a more diverse audience with varying backgrounds and expectations. Despite the increased interest, utilization, and literature on arts-based knowledge translation over the past three decades, no studies have directly compared traditional knowledge translation with arts-based knowledge translation methods.
