[48] Live from the Sim Tank: What's Next for Simulation-Based Education

On this special live edition of KeyLIME+, recorded at the Sim Tank innovation event held at Queen's University, Adam brings together a panel of simulation and education leaders to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming medical simulation training. From personalized learning and adaptive assessment to concerns about de-skilling, data ownership, and the evolving role of educators, the conversation examines both the promise and the pitfalls of tech-enhanced simulation. Together, the panel reflects on how emerging technologies may reshape not just how we teach medicine using sim, but how clinicians learn, think, and perform in an increasingly complex healthcare system.
