229 Simulcast Journal Club October 2026


Join us for the October edition of the Simulcast Journal Club, hosted by Vic Brazil and Ben Symon. This month: exploring how sim might address incivility in healthcare, how ‘positive deviance’ might help us understand sustainability ‘secrets’ for sim programs, more on ‘reality’ in sim, and an Editor in Chief offers expert thoughts on simulation scholarship.
