Why Interprofessional Simulation is the Key to Workforce Development

In this episode of Advancing Healthcare Through Simulation, Dr. John Gilbert, a pioneer in interprofessional education, discusses how simulation-based training is transforming collaboration in healthcare.

We explore:

• The evolution of interprofessional education (IPE) and its role in improving patient safety
• How simulation fosters teamwork and communication across healthcare disciplines
• The impact of mannequin-based simulation and virtual reality on skill development
• How AI and digital health tools are shaping the future of healthcare training
• Key strategies for scaling interprofessional simulation programs

Dr. Gilbert shares his insights from decades of experience in workforce development, healthcare education, and policy implementation—offering a global perspective on how interprofessional collaboration can reduce medical errors and enhance patient outcomes.
