Does terminology matter in healthcare simulation: Transformational and translational simulation? (22 July 2024)

Summary

As healthcare simulation evolves, so do the ways simulation is used to improve healthcare. Clinical Simulation has evolved from the traditional use in an academic setting to a more non-pedagogical practice focus setting. This growth has created confusion about what to call these healthcare simulation experiences, such as Translational Simulation or Transformational Simulation, or even Mastery-Based Learning. This HealthySimulation.com article written by HealthySimulation.com Content Manager Teresa Gore will summarise some of the published practice-based clinical simulation terminology in the literature that is not present in the Healthcare Simulation Dictionary.
