Simulation in Practice

Guest: Julie Arafieh, RN

Simulation creates a safe space for clinicians to practice critical skills, strengthen communication and prepare for high-risk, low-frequency events before they occur in real-life. Julie joins us to discuss how simulation can improve team performance, enhance clinical judgement, and build confidence in obstetric care.

Julie shares practical insight into what makes simulation meaningful, how debriefing supports learning, and why multidisciplinary practice is essential for improving response during obstetric emergencies. This episode highlights how simulation can move beyond “checking a box” and become a powerful tool for readiness, teamwork, patient safety, and professional growth.
