À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode of Advancing Healthcare Through Simulation, host Lisa George welcomes Dr. Anthony Seto, Clinical Associate Professor at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, emergency physician, educator and one of Canada's most creative innovators in simulation-based education.
Anthony's unique career combines emergency medicine with filmmaking, DJing, event medicine and lifeguard training to create memorable learning experiences that emphasize teamwork, communication and learner engagement. His innovative approaches include Draw & Doodle Sim, TeamSIM, Beep Beep Sim, escape room style learning and low fidelity simulations that demonstrate impactful education doesn't require expensive technology.
Throughout the conversation, Anthony explains why creativity often matters more than realism, how gamification improves teamwork, and why educators should not let limited budgets prevent them from creating meaningful simulation experiences.
In this episode you'll learn:
- How filmmaking and DJing shaped Anthony's approach to simulation design
- Why low fidelity simulations can be just as effective as high-tech simulation labs
- The story behind Draw & Doodle Sim and the research that validated the concept
- How event medicine teams use simulation to prepare for unpredictable emergencies
- Why TeamSIM separates teamwork from medical content to improve learning
- How escape room concepts became Beep Beep Sim for on-call emergency training
- Practical ideas educators can implement with little or no budget
- Emerging trends including AI, virtual reality, tele-simulation and psychological safety
- Why creativity and learner engagement remain at the heart of effective simulation
Whether you're new to simulation or an experienced educator, this episode offers practical ideas for creating engaging learning experiences regardless of your available technology or resources.
