This faculty-focused webinar explores how simulation can be strategically used to teach and assess core professional competencies in nurse anesthesia education—specifically communication, professionalism, cultural humility, and implicit bias. While high-fidelity simulation has long been a staple, it’s not the only path to meaningful, experiential learning.

We’ll discuss a range of alternative and complementary approaches—including narrative-based simulation, escape rooms, virtual reality, and AI-powered tools—that help faculty create psychologically safe, reflective, and equity-centered learning environments. These methods open the door for deeper engagement with the human dimensions of anesthesia care, allowing students to practice navigating complex interpersonal and ethical challenges.

Participants will leave with practical ideas to integrate or expand simulation in their curriculum—whether working with advanced simulation labs or more limited resources. The event is 1 hour in length. Registration required.
