In this episode of Simulation Nation, Kim Leighton, a pioneer in simulation evaluation tools, shares her journey and insights. She started in simulation during a flu outbreak and was tasked with evaluating a human patient simulator. Later, she developed the Simulation Effectiveness Tool and other evaluation tools. Kim created a website to provide access to these tools and has received over 7,500 unique downloads from 89 countries. She has now partnered with @HealthySimulation to continue making these tools available. Validating an evaluation tool involves ensuring it measures what it intends to and obtaining feedback from experts.
