Simulation in Healthcare Education Podcast

In the latest podcast, "Podcast SHE Season4CH4-Lars Konge-Proficiency-based Sim," Dr. Barsuk interviews Dr. Lars Konge, professor of medicine in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen, cardiothoracic surgeon, and director of the Simulation Center at Rigshospitalet, in Copenhagen Denmark.  Drs. Barsuk and Konge discuss proficiency-based education (mastery learning) and certification of technical skills using simulation.

The entire podcast series covers key topics in healthcare simulation education. The first several podcasts focus on the book Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Mastery Learning in Health Professions Education, published by the Northwestern Simulation team in 2020. Jeffrey Barsuk, MD, MS, leads the discussions by highlighting key issues about principles and practices of simulation-based mastery learning with chapter authors and book editors. Subsequent podcasts discuss key issues in healthcare simulation with experts in the field. Podcast listeners can reach out with questions for the Northwestern Simulation team via email at simed@northwestern.edu.
