This is part 2 of the masterclass about stress exposure simulation training and my conversation with Victoria Brazil. Coincidence or not, today I spoke to colleague Ruben Verlangen with whom I have worked for years on stress simulation training in emergency medicine. Independently of each other, we appear to be in the process of “putting on paper” our lessons learned on the subject. That is, guidelines for safe and effective stress sim training. How wonderful the timing of this interview with Victoria Brazil which gives us so much inspiration in doing so! Enjoy the conversation, see the topics below.
