High Fidelity Simulation in Pre-hospital Care: Training for Reality, Debriefing for Impact with Ben King

Today on the Pre-hospital Care Podcast, we dive into the growing role of high-fidelity simulation in improving clinical performance, team coordination, and patient outcomes in pre-hospital care systems. Simulation has moved beyond an educational luxury to become a strategic tool for preparing clinicians for the unpredictable and high-stakes nature of pre-hospital emergency medicine. In this episode, we explore not only the advantages of realistic experiential training but also the critical role of targeted debriefing and video-assisted debriefs in cementing learning, enhancing psychological safety, and driving measurable performance improvements.Our guest is Ben King, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Best Practice Medicine, a clinician-founded, Montana-based organisation dedicated to experiential healthcare education, high fidelity simulation, travel paramedicine, and EMS response services. Ben is widely recognised as a thought leader in resuscitative medicine, team dynamics, and human performance under stress, and has been a driving force in expanding the use of high-fidelity simulation to prepare providers for real-world clinical complexity.
