Two renowned leaders in healthcare education joined us at this year’s International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH). They are Dr. Janice Palaganas and Dr. David Rodgers. Listen as we hear their perspectives on two trending topics. Dr. Palaganas shared what it will take to further advance clinical simulation as teaching method. Dr. Rodgers spoke on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to augment a simulation program’s talent and resources.   

Janice Palaganas, Ph.D., holds positions as a Professor of Interprofessional Studies at Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions (MGH IHP) and as an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Anesthesia. Her expertise—and her passion—lies in utilizing healthcare simulation for interprofessional education and optimizing simulation outcomes through diverse debriefing methods.  

David Rodgers, Ph.D., holds positions at Indiana University (IU), as Director for its Interprofessional Simulation Center in Bloomington and as an assistant professor of clinical medicine in the IU School of Medicine. With over 25 years of experience in simulation, Dr. Rodgers has a wide range of knowledge in sim center operations and educational program development. As a prolific speaker and researcher, his experience in using AI is compelling.
