Simulcast Journal Club podcast October episode 

Two announcements to kick off our October Journal club podcast. 

1. Check out the great work ofKomalBaja and colleagues in producing a PEARLs debriefing infographic – a design informed presentation of the framework originally developed by Walter Eppich and Adam Cheng. All the materials free to download here and please provide feedback to the team in a 5 minute survey on the site. 

We then discuss the paper of the month. 

“The Association of Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE) Standards of Best Practice (SOBP).” 

Lewis, K., Bohnert, C., Gammon, W., Hölzer, H., Lyman, L., Smith, C., Thompson, T., Wallace, A. and Gliva-McConvey, G. (2017). Advances in Simulation, 2(1). 

And a few other sim papers across a range of topics and research methods.
