SimGHOSTS Presents: Using AI to Design and Support Social justice and Health Equity IPE Simulations - Morning Session

Abstract:

Background:
Interprofessional and nursing education competencies each highlight the need for training that promotes social justice and health equity across the lifespan. However, these concepts can be challenging for some educators to discuss, difficult to represent with standard simulation tools, and viewed as potentially sensitive in our polarized socio-political climate. Although generative AI was initially criticized for the possibility of biased outputs, it can be a valuable tool, when used carefully, to offer objective scenario content assistance and critiques to facilitate care writing and debriefing discussions with multiple unbiased viewpoints on potentially controversial topics.

Methods:
Attendees will receive a brief introduction to the origins and concepts of generative AI, concepts in Interprofessional education (IPE) core competencies, as well as nursing educational goals related to Social Justice and Health Equity. Attendees will then work in small groups to discuss current approaches to population health topics. Additional examples and scenario outlines will be created and shared in these groups to explore how AI tools can support scenario creation, review, and discussion in alignment with IPE and nursing core competencies.

Results:
Groups will be able to discuss best practice prompt generation techniques and any identified biases in content exports. Through hands-on practice, attendees will learn techniques to generate unbiased and unique considerations for each of these small group selected topics.

Conclusion:
Attendees will increase their understanding of how to design and deliver person-centered care and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics using generative AI to facilitate objective discussions and externalized viewpoints.

Please include a short summary of your presentation that highlights why an attendee would want to participate in your session.: This workshop will help nursing educators use generative AI to design simulations addressing social justice and health equity, that engage learners in discovering diverse perspectives. Attendees will gain skills to create inclusive, person-centered scenarios, promoting discussions on DEI using AI. Through hands-on activities and group discussions, participants will acquire practical skills to enhance nursing education with AI adding real-world relevance.
