In honor of INACSL’s 20th anniversary celebration, we had the pleasure of interviewing the incomparable Dr. Suzan “Suzie” Kardong-Edgren, PhD, RN, ANEF, CHSE, FSSH, FAAN and Dr. Sharon Decker, PhD, RN, FSSH, ANEF, FAAN who have been practicing simulation in nursing and healthcare even before it was even officially called by that name. Season two host Kyle Johnson, PhD, RN, CHSE looks to the past as we envision the future of simulation, and talks with Dr. Kardong-Edgren and Dr. Decker about how they first got their start in simulation, their career journey over the last several decades, and what they think simulationists should focus on in the future. Spoiler alert, the recent simulation advancements are only the tip of the iceberg.

In the second episode of season two, host Kyle Johnson, PhD, RN, CHSE, Associate Dean for Simulation & Associate Professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing talks with Dr. Kim Leighton, PhD, RN, CHSOS, CHSE, ANEF, FSSH, FAAN, Executive Director of the ITQAN Clinical Simulation and Innovation Center at Hamad Medical Cor, Doha, Qatar. Dr. Leighton shares about the importance of Learner Assessment tools, her work in Qatar, working with simulationists across the globe, and the exciting places life will take you when you take risks and try something new.

Welcome to Season Two of the Let’s Talk SIM podcast! In our first episode of the season, host Kyle Johnson, PhD, RN, CHSE, Associate Dean for Simulation & Associate Professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing addresses the state of Advanced Practice Nursing (APRN) Simulation especially for simulationists pursuing a doctoral degree. Scholar and educator, Dr. Sarah L. Beebe, PhD, CNM, WHNP-BC, CHSE has devoted most of her current research to create hybrid simulated experiences to advance nursing simulation education. Dr. Beebe talks about the current state of healthcare simulation in APRN education, challenges and opportunities with simulation in APRN programs in contrast to pre-licensure programs, and where she foresees simulation making the biggest impact in APRN education.
