Host Dr. Amar Patel, CAE Chief Learning Officer, talks with Monique Corbeil, Executive Director of ESPA Montreal, about the ability of simulation to guarantee learners experience specific healthcare situations and scenarios they otherwise might not. “When you have students in a clinical setting, they may see a clinical situation that’s rare and very severe. If they’re lucky enough to see it, chances are they’re not going to be allowed to act in it, because the risk to the patient is too high. So they’ll basically just witness what professionals are doing, which is not the best way to learn; nothing comparable to the impact of simulation. If you have people interacting in the recreated environment, in the simulation setting and then they can reflect on what they did right or wrong, what they will have learned is much more powerful than just having observed people do it.” Welcome - ESPA Montréal (espamontreal.ca) (https://espamontreal.ca/en/#team)CAE Center of Excellence (http://microsoft%20word%20-%20espacoereleasedraft_v6_en_clean_final.docx%20%28cae.com%29/)

In Episode 5, Amar Patel speaks to Dr. Tara Bastek, a neonatologist, bioethicist and simulation educator with a Master’s degree in Public Health from Harvard University.Currently serving as Chair of the Medical Ethics Committee and Associate Medical Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for WakeMed Health, Dr. Bastek offers her views on isolating with family, where to find factual information and the COVID-19 impact on society and healthcare. “I myself ended up as a person of interest. I was in a strict quarantine for 72 hours until my test results came back... wondering if I had exposed my family to this.” Dr. Tara Bastek Associate Medical Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh, North Carolina

Following their augmented reality seminar (https://vimeo.com/386761804) at the International Meeting for Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) in late January 2020, Eric Kamont, director of Mixed Reality Partnerships for Microsoft Corporation, and Amar Patel sat down to converse about new learning approaches and banter about North Carolina barbeque. “How could augmented reality possibly be here now? It blows people’s minds. The hype is finally matching the reality of where we want to go.” Eric Kamont Director of Mixed Reality Strategic Partnerships for Microsoft Corporation “Healthcare training has to become learner-centered. Skills-based acquisition needs to be individualized, and mixed reality will help accomplish that.” Amar Patel Chief Learning Officer of CAE Healthcare. http://www.hololens.com/ (http://www.hololens.com/) http://www.caehealthcare.com/hololens (http://www.caehealthcare.com/hololens)

Even in normal times, healthcare providers can face challenges of stress, burnout, and a strong desire to help every patient succeed and get well. In this unprecedented era for all clinicians, how can we prevent PTSD and take care of each other? CAE Healthcare Chief Learning Officer Amar Patel and Chief Medical Officer Stefan Monk offer their personal perspectives and advice. “Healthcare professionals function for a long time, even if they are suffering. They probably function until they reach a breaking point.” Dr. Stefan Monk Chief Medical Officer of CAE Healthcare

Amar Patel and Stefan Monk, Chief Medical Officer for CAE Healthcare, offer advice for clinical professionals currently in the workforce and those who are volunteering during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the pandemic shines a spotlight on critical need for more healthcare professionals, they assert that future simulation training will need to be even more efficient. “I think there is no way back. It will be difficult to think about going back into a world before COVID 19 in almost every respect.” Dr. Stefan Monk Chief Medical Officer of CAE Healthcare

In Episode 1, Amar Patel interviews Robert Armstrong, President of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, about COVID-19 training realities, simulation in an era of social distancing, and the emerging modalities that could one day replace patient manikins. "Everything that is important about simulation is accentuated when we don’t have free access to training."
