Abstract Simulation can contribute to the development of learners' clinical competence and provide evidence of their progress toward readiness for practice. Nurse practitioner students engaged in simulated clinical visits using virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Simulation activities were mapped to entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Questions after the encounter provided objective measures regarding assessment, diagnostic, management, and clinical reasoning skills. The Simulation Effectiveness Tool—Modified and polling captured learner feedback. Valuable contributions to learning were reported, but responses regarding technology varied. Feedback from several learners indicated a preference for the screen-based format, compared with virtual immersion, but further study is warranted.
