Background: Simulation has become a staple in the training of healthcare professionals with accumulating evidence on its effectiveness. However, guidelines for optimal methods of simulation training do not currently exist.
Methods: Systematic reviews of the literature on 16 identified key questions were conducted and expert panel consensus recommendations determined using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology.
Objective: These evidence-based guidelines from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare intend to support healthcare professionals in decisions on the most effective methods for simulation training in healthcare.
Results: Twenty recommendations on 16 questions were determined using GRADE. Four expert recommendations were also provided.
Conclusions: The first evidence-based guidelines for simulation training are provided to guide instructors and learners on the most effective use of simulation in healthcare.

Military personnel involved in weapon training are subjected to repeated low-level blasts. The prevailing method of estimating blast loads involves wearable blast gauges. However, using wearable sensor data, blast loads to the head or other organs cannot be accurately estimated without knowledge of the service member's body posture.

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) are rapidly gaining interest for molecular modeling, as they provide a balance between quantum-mechanical level descriptions of atomic interactions and reasonable computational efficiency. However, questions remain regarding the stability of simulations using these potentials, as well as the extent to which the learned potential energy function can be extrapolated safely. Past studies have encountered challenges when MLIPs are applied to classical benchmark systems.

Background: Drowning remains a significant cause of mortality among children world-wide, making prevention strategies crucial. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends training children in safe rescue techniques, including the use of basic skills such as throwing floating objects. This study aims to address a knowledge gap regarding the throwing capabilities of children aged six to twelve using conventional and alternative water rescue materials.

Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Its injury is often evaluated with orthopedic tests during physical examination, but this turns out to be a subjective assessment. A knee arthrometer is a mechanical device developed in the 1970s to improve the diagnostic accuracy of anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Background Virtual reality (VR) is typically used for entertainment or gaming, but many studies have shown that the applications of VR can also extend to medical and clinical education. This is because VR can help health professionals learn complex subjects, improve memory, and increase interest in abstract concepts. In the context of medical education, the immersive nature of a VR setting allows students and clinicians in training to interact with virtual patients and anatomical structures in a three-dimensional environment or from a clinician's point of view.
