Join us for the November edition of the Simulcast Journal Club, hosted by Vic Brazil and Ben Symon. In this episode: Sense of presence in sim, connecting human factors and translational simulation, positive deviants in in situ simulation and students portraying patients in simulation. And some serious stats… :-)
