Scoping review maps simulation-based interprofessional education in surgery, suggesting improvements in quality and safety.
Introduction Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) has been successfully employed in health professions education and appears a promising strategy for improving quality and safety in the field of surgery. This scoping review aims to map how Sim-IPE in surgery is practiced, researched and discussed. Methods The scoping review will include references published after 1st January 2000 that pertain to simulation-based education and interprofessional education and surgery. The population of study is health professionals, who may be students, trainees or fully qualified. The scoping review is contextualised to the hospital setting and the work of surgeons. Future Impact The findings are anticipated to illuminate the current state of practice of Sim-IPE in surgery, identify facilitators and barriers to implementation and reveal gaps in the literature where further research would be beneficial. This knowledge may inform educators, researchers and policy makers and influence the future practice and research of Sim-IPE in surgery.
