How Can Emerging Fields Like Narrative Medicine and Simulation Build Standards?
In this Mindworks in Conversation episode, Cathy Smith, PhD, shares lessons from her decades of work in simulation-based healthcare education—specifically around training and standardizing simulated participants (SPs).
She reflects on the balance between flexibility and consistency, and how clear guidelines can enhance credibility, outcomes, and professional recognition.
Her insights offer valuable parallels for anyone working to define and elevate narrative practices in healthcare, education, or beyond.
