Research & Innovation

Evidence-informed work on simulation, reasoning, and learner development.

PraxSim's research orientation is restrained and applied. We study what scalable simulation can — and cannot — contribute to healthcare education, and we partner with institutions to do that work carefully.

Initiatives

Ongoing research initiatives

PraxSim invests in applied research aligned with the realities of healthcare programs — including learner experience, faculty workflow integration, and the educational role of AI-supported encounters. Studies prioritize implementation fidelity and program-level outcomes.

Partnerships

Pilot partnerships

We work with academic programs, simulation centers, and health systems on structured pilots. Pilot scopes are defined collaboratively, with explicit success criteria, faculty involvement, and shared learning artifacts.

Dissemination

Conference presentations & publications

PraxSim contributes to academic conversations through conference contributions and peer-reviewed dissemination, with an emphasis on transferable findings for healthcare educators.

Collaboration

Institutional collaboration opportunities

We welcome inquiries from programs interested in joint study design, curriculum integration research, or shared evaluation work. Engagements are scoped to fit existing institutional research processes.
