"The need for interprofessional education (IPE) has been recognized on the basis of compromised patient care due to ineffective communication and teamwork among healthcare providers. Using Simulation to enhance IPE has been advocated to achieve the competencies required for effective interprofessional collaborative practice."

"This edition of the Short Reports on Simulation Innovations Supplement (SRSIS) highlights how educators across the globe are tackling this complex challenge in novel and creative ways. Using an array of techniques and interventions, these authors make it clear that faculty development for simulation educators is indeed a universal need, and a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable. We identified four themes in the successful reports comprising the SRSIS."

"Animal Assisted Interventions have been used therapeutically with positive effects though there is an absence of research on Animal Assisted Interventions in healthcare simulation. This study investigates the efficacy of an Animal Assisted Intervention compared to an intervention control to reduce negative affective arousal post-simulation."

"With the advancement of innovative technology, healthcare professionals stand to benefit from adjustments to procedural skills training/assessment introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this essay, we reflect on the development of a virtual reality (VR)-based training programme to support medical and nursing staff in procedural skills for central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, related communication skills and situation awareness."

"The process of post-event debriefing following immersive simulation is a well-established practice within the healthcare simulation community. Whilst the evidence base grows around the benefits of structured debrief models and in the development of tiered faculty development programmes in developing capacity in simulation-based healthcare education, far less currently exists on ongoing, structured, and embedded approaches in improving and quality assuring debriefing proficiency after the initial training pathway has been delivered."

"A few challenges of the current teaching method are the paucity of subjects, lack of anatomical standardization, unwillingness by students to expose their chest in front of peers and gender-based issues. Alternatively, simulation-based teaching using high-fidelity mannequins and simulated patients is adopted, which has been proven to be effective."

"Access to and inclusion in simulation-based education (SBE) for remote and rural (RR) healthcare practitioners, irrespective of geographic setting, professional background and workplace context, is challenging. This challenge is compounded because simulation in healthcare education is acknowledged as a complex intervention, and healthcare systems are in and of themselves complex."
