Abstract
Simulation-based education (SBE) has revolutionized health care training by enhancing skills and addressing systemic issues. This article explores how SBE can bridge the gap between recognizing health care disparities and implementing actionable steps to address them. The immersive nature of SBE, combined with structured debriefing, sets the foundation for a "brave space" that fosters critical discussions on crucial topics, such as health equity. SBE enables health care professionals to develop cultural humility, confront biases, and practice upstander skills. This approach not only addresses hidden curricula but also integrates equity into clinical practice through practical scenarios and community engagement. Despite the potential benefits, challenges such as unintentional harm and the need for thoughtful implementation persist. To maximize effectiveness, SBE initiatives must be aligned with organizational goals and include interdisciplinary team commitment. Ongoing research and robust evaluation are essential to measure SBE's impact on health equity and patient outcomes. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(11):e414-e419.].
