Simulation in Action: Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology – Episode 4
Inside CAMS’ Research on Humanization, Bias, and Clinical Training
How a leading simulation center is using AI, standardized patients, and high‑fidelity environments to test health technologies and study the human side of care.
Simulation can train skills—but at CAMS at NAIT, it also powers research on how people and technologies shape the patient experience. In this episode of Simulation in Action, the CAMS team opens up their work on humanization, bias, and emotional intelligence, showing how they design studies that use simulated encounters to probe attitudes and behavior, while inviting AI‑enabled tools into the same space to see whether they truly support clinicians.
The conversation follows standardized patients, advanced manikins, and AI systems through near real‑world scenarios that are repeatable enough for research and rich enough to matter. AI is treated as a “colleague” in the background—taking on documentation and data‑heavy tasks so clinicians can invest their time in the human side of care. For simulation and IPE leaders, the episode offers a clear pathway to move beyond education‑only models and use your center to investigate complex human factors and inform more compassionate, equitable care.
Key Takeaways:
- See how CAMS uses its simulation center as a research engine to study dehumanization, bias, and emotional intelligence in healthcare learners and professionals.
- Learn how combining standardized patients with advanced manikins and AI tools enables controlled, repeatable scenarios across age, ethnicity, and clinical context.
- Understand practical ways AI can act as a clinical “assistant”—structuring patient data, drafting notes, and supporting risk prediction—while keeping the human firmly in the loop.
- Explore opportunities for your simulation center to partner with technology innovators, offering early‑stage testing, usability assessment, and research collaborations that extend your impact beyond training.
