What happens when simulation becomes the new reality, as opposed to a copy of it?
In this episode, I feature a paper by Johnston and colleagues, who invite us to think reflexively about the educational value of simulation in healthcare. While many benefits have been demonstrated in the last few years, this paper uses the concept of "simulacra" - a copy that is indiscernible from the original and comes to replace it - to help us think about some unforeseen consequences of the rapid uptake of simulation.
