In a complex world, different perspectives help us to understand and frame challenges, and to find and construct solutions. But in healthcare, just as in the broader world, many structures and processes serve to uphold the status quo and limit new and different voices.
With this Collection, we seek submissions that highlight the important and necessary role simulation can play in positively impacting equity, diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity within health and social care. We seek conceptual, methodological, and empirical studies, as well as detailed innovative practice that helps to advance the field. To further challenge the field and advance equity, diversity, accessibility, and inclusion, we seek not only traditional article types, but also manuscripts that support high-quality audio-visual material, artwork, and other formats that may fall outside of the realm of traditional academic publication.
Themes of equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) arise commonly within healthcare simulation. Though faculty development guidance and standards include increasing reference to EDI, information on how faculty mi...
Disparities in accessing quality healthcare persist among diverse populations. Health professional education should therefore promote more diversity in the health workforce, by fostering attitudes of inclusion...
Transgender and nonbinary patients face unique healthcare challenges, such as harassment, discrimination, and/or prejudice, at higher rates than their cisgender counterparts. These experiences, or even the fea...
Principles and issues of equity, diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility (EDIA) are being explored currently in simulation designs and trainings but with limited depth, often raising more questions than answ...
In this methodological intersection article, we describe how we developed a new variation of the established tabletop simulation modality, inspired by institutional ethnography (IE)-informed principles. We aim...
