Professional codes of ethics are important milestones in the development of any profession. This workshop will first connect historical perspective (and debunk at least one myth) to the creation of the Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics. Then, everyone in attendance will help bring the Code to life by grappling with case studies and exploring how the Code can guide and leverage our healthcare simulation practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share and discuss their own challenges and successes, and to consider a vision for future advances in ethical healthcare simulation practice.
