Join Tony Errichetti, PhD, for a conversation with Amelia Wallace, President-Elect of ASPE and a leader in simulation-based education. Drawing from her background in opera, cognitive theory, and simulation, Amelia challenges traditional approaches to training Standardized Patients (SPs)—positioning them as active, perceptive collaborators in healthcare education.
Their discussion explores:
-
The role of AI in simulation and whether it can replace human nuance
-
How observation, performance, and bias influence clinical learning
-
Practical strategies for helping SPs and learners recognize assumptions and refine their perception
-
The use of arts-based methods, including music, to sharpen observation and feedback skills
-
Who truly “owns” the patient’s story in clinical education—and why that question matters
Whether you work in SP education, healthcare training, or narrative practice, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into humanizing medical education in an evolving landscape.
