Aaron recently completed a PhD on stress responses in medical simulation and remains active in research across several fields. Although now working outside academia, he maintains collaborative links with academic teams, including the group presenting at Nexus 2025. His interests include simulation-based education, human performance, and the impact of stress in high-stakes environments.
Presenting at the Nexus Summit:
Description:This Lightning Talk presents findings from a pilot study exploring the feasibility of conducting a multi-modal evaluation of stress responses in interprofessional (IP) learners during a simulated trauma education event (Sim-IPE). The talk will share practical insights on measuring learner stress through physiological, biochemical, and psychological markers in real-time, and will highlight variations in stress responses across professions. The session will offer learners an evidence-informed perspective on designing more supportive, equitable Sim-IPE environments.Introduction:Sim-…
