This practical guide is focused on supporting those who work with older adult simulated participants (SPs). This book addresses a gap in professional development for anyone using simulation as an educational method. It draws on theoretical and experience-based practices in a range of settings. The book includes opportunities for expanded roles for older adult SPs beyond their typical work as 'patients'.
This book will be an invaluable practical resource for educators, academics, and other healthcare providers with different levels of experience, who work in health professions' education especially related to care of older adults. The book includes examples from medicine, nursing and allied health professions as well as interprofessional practices.
