Show Notes

Covid-19 has disrupted traditional modes of safe practice, but the advances in virtual reality and simulations are making it possible to provide memorable and impactful learning through practice. In this episode, Carrie Straub, Executive Director: Educational Programs and Research at Mursion, joins the Learning Geeks to discuss the advances in immersive, virtual practice. With Carrie’s immense experience on helping others authentically practice interpersonal skills, she shares why it’s important to create psychologically safe environments, how AI could play a role in the future, and why authentic, safe practice is essential for today’s most important issues (e.g. racial inequalities, unconscious bias).
