Use of AI and LLM in Simulation Based Education

Use of AI and LLM in Simulation Based Education

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) into simulation-based education is transforming healthcare training by enhancing scalability, adaptability, and accessibility. AI‑driven technologies, including LLMs such as GPT models, enable the creation of dynamic, realistic scenarios and personalized learning experiences, offering learners real-time feedback and tailored pathways. These advancements optimize skill development in communication, diagnostic reasoning, and decision-making.

Applications of AI and LLMs in simulation include automated debriefing systems that analyze performance and provide individualized insights, virtual patients for realistic conversational training, and culturally sensitive scenario generation by adapting content to diverse demographics. AI-driven analytics further enable educators to refine curricula based on learner performance trends, addressing specific gaps.

While these technologies hold immense promise, challenges such as ethical concerns, algorithmic bias, and data security require attention. This abstract explores the transformative potential and challenges of AI and LLMs in simulation‑based education, emphasizing their role in advancing healthcare outcomes globally.

Associate Professor
at The Hospital for Sick Children

Dr. Jabeen Fayyaz, MD, FCPS, MCPS, DCH, CHSE, MHPE, Ph.D. (Sim), MGH IHP, is the SimKIDS Medical Director at The Hospital for Sick Children and an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. She is a Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Staff Physician and Resuscitation Lead in the Division of Emergency Medicine at SickKids. Renowned for her expertise in simulation-based education, patient safety, and quality improvement, Dr. Fayyaz holds leadership roles internationally as the Associate Chair of the IPSS-INSPIRE Pediatric Simulation Fellowship and as a Board Member for the International Pediatric Simulation Society (IPSS) and INSPIRE. Dr. Fayyaz’s professional journey began in Pakistan, where she was among the first specialists in Pediatric Emergency Medicine recognized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan. Her career has included leadership roles at Aga Khan University Hospital and Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, where she led the implementation of advanced quality improvement initiatives like the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS) and LEAN Sigma methodologies. She holds a master’s degree in Health Professions Education from Aga Khan University and a Ph.D. in simulation from the MGH Institute of Health Professions, affiliated with Harvard University. As Simulation Lead Faculty for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan, she has contributed extensively to curriculum development and simulation program innovation. Dr. Fayyaz is a visiting faculty member at the Indus Hospital and Health Network, the University of Lahore in Pakistan, and AIIMS Jodhpur in India. Her initiatives include developing a simulation‑based PEM curriculum and training over 50 simulation educators globally. Actively involved in global capacity‑building efforts, she has led projects that graduated 27 physicians through a one‑year PEM certification program in 2023. In addition to her clinical and educational roles, Dr. Fayyaz chairs the Resuscitation Oversight Committee at SickKids, leads Competency‑Based Medical Education (CBME) programs, and serves on editorial boards, including the International Journal of Healthcare Simulation (IJOHS). Her dedication to using simulation for system testing, quality improvement, and culturally sensitive education underscores her commitment to advancing healthcare globally.
