SimGhost Workshop: AIn’t Going away: How to use simulation to support simulation-based education

This workshop will outline the concepts of the ever expanding forms of artificial intelligence and its potential uses in supporting simulation-based education in healthcare. Initial concerns about the role of AI diminishing the effort put forth by students in writing papers and other school activities may be offset if used appropriately to allow students to demonstrate knowledge in real-time through the use of robust simulation experiences. A careful understanding of what AI can, and can’t, do will allow educators to better understand the potential power, pitfalls, and utility of this new technology. This workshop will discuss the different tools available in the AI arena and how they can be used to support content and case creation. Knowledge about how to best interact and use these systems will be described and practices as well as discussing the ethical roles and requirements for cases and content created with assistance of AI. Remember that AI is only a tool and must always be used in coordination with us as content experts for appropriate implementation and to ensure effective acquisition of knowledge.
