Professional Integrity and Ethical Considerations in Simulation

As healthcare providers, ethical decisions are woven into the fabric of our profession from bedside care to the use of simulation as an educational pedagogy. Simulation as a method for healthcare education began in response to ethical dilemmas in clinical practice. Educators require an interactive approach to education that will keep patients, learners, and faculty psychologically safe, decrease errors in clinical practice, and engage participants, all of which are inherent in simulation-based experiences. Professional integrity and morality are infused throughout simulation design: prebriefing, facilitation, debriefing, and evaluation.
