🌟 At our MTHC x event, clinical educators experienced Friday Night at the ER — an interactive simulation designed to highlight teamwork and interprofessional practice in action.

After the simulation and debriefing, we asked participants: “What do you think you will take away from this experience?”

Their reflections show the impact of learning through simulation and how it can shape approaches to teaching and practice!
