Five principles of magic are described that directly relate to enhancing participant engagement in the healthcare simulation setting. The principles discussed are the following: reality is in the mind of the participant, attention is easily misdirected, perception can be manipulated, various cognitive biases can be exploited, and focus must be captured. Using these principles in a healthcare simulation can help fill gaps in fidelity and bring a participant to a point where the situation and events make sense to them, they feel that they are in an appropriate environment, and they are willing to forgive the natural flaws of the simulation itself. Misuse of illusions beyond the purpose of filling fidelity gaps can break trust with the teacher and lead to disengagement of the participant.

Objective: Many different types of infectious oral diseases have been identified clinically, including chronic periodontitis. is the main pathogen causing chronic periodontitis, which is closely related to atherosclerosis (AS) and can promote the expression levels of caveolin 1 (Cav-1) and induced ribonucleic acid (RNA)-binding protein human antigen R (HuR). However, the roles of Cav-1 and its relationship with HuR in -mediated AS progression remain largely unknown.

Introduction: During tasks like minimally invasive surgery (MIS), various factors can make working environment not be ergonomic, and those situations will accumulate fatigue in the surgeon's muscles which will inevitably lead to poor surgical performance. Therefore, there has been a need for technical solutions to solve this problem and one of the methods is exoskeleton robots.

Methods: We designed a passive shoulder exoskeleton whose workspace could be used for MIS to assist the surgeon's movements and performed computational and clinical validation.

Background: Behavioural marker systems are used across several healthcare disciplines to assess behavioural (non-technical) skills, but rater training is variable, and inter-rater reliability is generally poor. Inter-rater reliability provides data about the tool, but not the competence of individual raters. This study aimed to test the inter-rater reliability of a new behavioural marker system (PhaBS - pharmacists' behavioural skills) with clinically experienced faculty raters and near-peer raters.

Background: Cancer remains a critical global health issue requiring a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach for effective treatment. Interprofessional education (IPE) is essential for overcoming barriers to collaboration among healthcare professionals and fostering efficient teamwork in cancer care.

Objective: This systematic scoping review aims to explore the role of IPE in enhancing interprofessional collaboration within cancer care by mapping and synthesizing the implementation, impact, and evaluation strategies of patient-centered IPE programs in this field.

Facilitators' experiences with virtual simulation and their impact on learning.

Adv Simul (Lond)

December 2024

School of Community and Health Studies, Centennial College, P.O. Box 631 Station A, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Background: Increasingly, virtual simulations are being integrated into higher education. A successful experience goes far beyond simply offering learners access to a virtual simulation; it requires a facilitator who understands the learners' needs and course objectives, choses the right virtual simulation for the learner, creates a welcoming space that promotes learning, and evaluates the experience.

Methods: Facilitators from three different healthcare programs and six educational institutions and students from two different healthcare programs were included in this exploratory qualitative research study.
