Generative artificial intelligence 6: simulation

Simulation-based education plays a critical role in paramedic education by enabling learners to develop both clinical and non-technical skills in a safe, realistic environment. This article concludes a continuing professional development series on generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), focusing on how this technology can support and enhance simulation design. It explores how prompt engineering can reduce facilitator workload, improve scenario consistency and support reflective practice through augmented debriefing. Practical examples of Gen AI-generated simulation prompts are presented and critically analysed to illustrate both the potential and limitations of current tools. As paramedic education continues to evolve, Gen AI offers promising opportunities to enrich simulation delivery – provided that its use is guided by professional standards and supported by appropriate human oversight.
