This journal club, presented by the lead author on the publication explores student perceptions of what it means to be psychologically safe during simulation. Strategies that educators of undergraduates migh want to consider when running simulations is discussed. This article was presented by Dr. Lee-Anne Stephen who is an Associate Professor at the University of the Fraser Valley where she teaches undergraduate BSN students and supports the development and implementation of simulation learning activities.

This journal club explores virtual debriefings during a time when simulation programs are increasing their use of video based videoconferencing. The unique set of challenges that come along with virtual debriefing are discussed, and the Communities of Inquiry conceptual framework is used to present practical guidance for conducting virtual debriefings. This article was presented by Darin is the Director for the Centre for Interprofessional Clinical Simulation Learning, Clinical Faculty in UBC’s Island Medical Program, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at UVIC’s School of Nursing.
