I have heard Elaine Meyer speak, amazing women take a few minutes to watch this video on healthcare communication and the present gaps within it.

Excellent article in Modern Health, the importance of simulation in the training of healthcare professionals, in regards to patients safety and reduction of risk and the fact that there is an ROI using simulation.

Would you choose to build a house on top of an unfinished foundation? Of course not. Why, then, do we rush students through education when they haven't always grasped the basics? Mastery or score.

Great short video from IMSH 2016 on "How do I make a case for simulation. Develop strategies to get that buy in you need.

Here is an article showing how simulators are playing a larger role. The knowledge gap between the two groups is causing leaders great concern because the next generation of millennial leaders don't have the experience to effectively lead. Simulators are seen as useful methodology.

This is one of those TED TALKS that every healthcare professional should watch is translate to every field and every person. Dr. Meyer draws on both professional and personal experience to illustrate the profound gaps in healthcare communication and how to close them.
