Abstract: Legislative mandates increasingly require medical educators and facilitators to provide evidence of effective instruction that supports improved patient outcomes, care, experiences, and safety (Donaldson, 2009; Department of Health, 2011). Thus the need to develop innovative simulation based medical education (SBME) scenarios that provide convincing evidence that learners have access to the patient’s point of view is coming to the fore. As emergent technologies provide the capacity to integrate the patient’s perspective into SBME, innovative research approaches need to be developed to analyze and assess learning outcomes.
