In this episode Tony and Lawrence dive into the world of Bloom’s Taxonomy — but with a twist....

You’ve probably seen learning outcomes like “Students will understand…” or “Learners will evaluate…”. But in the world of a simulation, do those verbs actually mean anything?

Join us as we explore:
• Why traditional Bloom’s verbs fall short in simulation and clinical training
• The real problems with vague or passive learning outcomes
• A revised taxonomy of simulation-friendly verbs
• How to avoid educational jargon that confuses more than it clarifies

This episode is packed with practical examples, verbal rants (the good kind), and tips for writing learning objectives that are real, measurable, and meaningful.

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on the often overlooked but absolutely essential role of the Simulation-Based Education (SBE) Technician.

Joining us is Josh Johnson, Senior Simulation Technician at the University of East Anglia. With a background in musicology and a passion for both creativity and technical excellence, Josh shares candid insights into his unique journey into healthcare simulation and what it truly means to be an SBE Tech.

This episode not only celebrates the indispensable contributions of simulation technicians but also critically examines the systems, expectations and real-world challenges they face. If you’re involved in healthcare education, simulation design, or workforce development, this episode will be perfect for you.
