“…For example, conversations prompted by the SIM-EDI led us to find literature related to simulation design, delivery, and debriefing. We found that Craig et al recently published a focused checklist for designing equitable and diverse simulations [ 15 ]. Others have highlighted ongoing challenges associated with delivering simulation because of a lack of diversity of mannekins and considerations related to safety of simulated participants [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Exploring equity, diversity, and inclusion in a simulation program using the SIM-EDI tool: the impact of a reflexive tool for simulation educators

Background There have been increasing calls for awareness and action related to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in simulation but a lack of practical guidance for how simulation delivery teams (SDTs) might move towards meaningful transformation. The gap between academic conversations about EDI and how to practically impact SDT attitudes, behaviors, and performance remains considerable. We designed a conversational tool, the SIM-EDI, to bridge the gap between theory and practice for SDTs by enhancing reflexivity and studied its impact locally. Methods We engaged in a collaborative autoethnography to explore EDI within our emergency department SDT shortly after implementing the SIM-EDI. The 12-month ethnography is informed by our team’s collection and analysis of data about ourselves and our own experiences using the tool. Data included serial interviews, field notes from simulations and SDT meetings, SDT documents, and self-reflections. Results We found the SIM-EDI tool could be implemented with a team with a high level of readiness. Use of the tool had several meaningful impacts including enhanced team reflexivity, normalization of conversations related to EDI and increased confidence to engage in EDI conversations with participants. Key themes throughout the process included (1) individual and team growth, (2) fear of “getting it wrong”, and (3) tension between bias towards action and need for slow reflection. Conclusion The SIM-EDI tool can effectively promote reflexivity among faculty in an emergency department simulation program. The tool is easy to use and implement, impacts attitudes and behaviors, and facilitates individual and team growth.

Background: There is a critical need to prepare a diverse nursing workforce and address issues of structural racism and health inequities. Problem: A shortage of underrepresented nurse faculty exacerbates the lack of diversity in nursing education. Microaggressions and discrimination experienced by underrepresented nursing students hinder their personal and professional growth. Evaluating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and belonging within a school of nursing is crucial for progress. Approach: An alumni survey and a faculty/staff survey were conducted to assess DEI perceptions, which informed the development of a strategic plan. Goals focused on monitoring the cultural climate, increasing diversity and inclusivity, and enhancing faculty competencies. Educational offerings and initiatives were implemented to support these goals. Outcomes: Ongoing evaluation is essential to sustain progress in this critical area. Conclusion: These efforts are necessary for sustainable progress and equitable care provision.

“…These are areas where faculty can demonstrate DEI contributions to teaching. Faculty could describe what strategies they have incorporated in the classroom and clinical environments that led to student equity, access, success, and belonging 16,17. Faculty could also describe the innovative and engaging ways they approach concepts such as the SDOH, advancing health equity, and reducing disparities in the teaching-learning process 18–21.…”

“…The leading national nursing organizations called for progressive integration of DEI concepts and social determinants of health (SDOH) into nursing curricula. 16,17 Faculty could also describe the innovative and engaging ways they approach concepts such as the SDOH, advancing health equity, and reducing disparities in the teaching-learning process. As a topic of research and scholarship, DEI falls outside of specific disciplinary norms in most fields and, unfortunately, was historically relegated to having little value in knowledge production.…”

Background: The nursing profession and academic environments are increasingly calling for nurse educators to incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals and actions into their professional practice. Such work aligns with institutional and professional missions of social justice and antiracism. Problem: Historically, there has been an undervaluing and lack of recognition in academia of DEI contributions and qualitative or community-based research focused on health equity. This lack of recognition may disproportionately impact faculty who focus their scholarship and research on marginalized communities. Approach: The current state of the academic review of DEI contributions for appointment, promotion, and tenure is presented. Examples for teaching, research and scholarship, practice, and service are provided. Outcomes: Recommendations include expanding recognition and evaluation of academic scholarship and advocacy against efforts to dismantle social justice and antiracism advances within academia. Conclusion: Examining hegemonic norms is vital to promote more equitable power structures in academic environments.
