Abstract
Background A survey of an interdisciplinary group of university health care faculty and nonuniversity health care educators who were primarily nonusers of human patient simulation (HPS) was conducted regarding utilization of HPS in health care education. Method Respondents were recruited from an HPS demonstration seminar meant to introduce educators to HPS technology. Educators responded to an electronic survey that asked about specific instructional uses of HPS for clinical skills. The survey also asked respondents to rate their concern with common barriers to HPS implementation. Results Common opinions were held by an interdisciplinary group of university faculty and nonuniversity health care educators about benefits and barriers to implementing HPS in health care curricula. Conclusions The university faculty and nonuniversity health care educators surveyed were like minded about the use of HPS for education and training. These findings demonstrate that an interdisciplinary approach to establishing a collaborative interprofessional HPS program is possible in a time of limited resources.
