The Simulation Operative
Welcome to The Simulation Operative—where healthcare simulation meets operations, strategy, technology, and experiential learning. Great simulation doesn’t just happen when the scenario starts. Behind every meaningful learning experience is an operation built to support it: the people, systems, technology, processes, environments, and decisions that turn an idea into an experience capable of changing practice. The Simulation Operative explores the business and operational side of healthcare simulation and the critical role it plays in creating high-quality experiential learning. We dig into the realities of building, operating, and advancing simulation programs from learning theory, scenario design, and educational outcomes to simulation technologies, operations, business development, quality improvement, leadership, innovation, and everything happening behind the scenes. Whether you're a simulation operations specialist, educator, technician, program leader, healthcare professional, or simply someone who believes people learn differently when they have the opportunity to experience, practice, reflect, and improve, this podcast is for you. We’ll challenge assumptions, share practical ideas, explore emerging technologies, and talk with the people doing the work. Because simulation is more than equipment. It’s more than a scenario. It’s an operation designed to create experiences that change what happens when it matters most. Welcome to The Simulation Operative.

Nobody plans to become a simulation director. Well, almost nobody.
For many of us, healthcare simulation wasn't the original career plan, and leadership certainly wasn't either. We started as clinicians, educators, engineers, operations specialists, or simply the person who could make things work. Then one opportunity led to another, and suddenly we found ourselves responsible for people, budgets, strategy, and the future of an ent...
We spend enormous amounts of time designing simulations, preparing environments, supporting faculty, operating technology, and creating meaningful learning experiences. But how well are we capturing the real impact of all that work?
In this episode of The Simulation Operative, I explore why healthcare simulation needs to move beyond the traditional post-simulation satisfaction survey. I share a practical five-part approach to colle...
