​Substance Use Simulations replicate the look and feel of a real encounter, allowing participants to employ relational practice skills and equity orientated healthcare. These SIMS are a rich opportunity to engage all domains of learning, with liberatory potential.

Using a video as the simulation provides participants to see a patient story, clinical interaction, and hear an interview with a person with lived/living experience. The video is stopped at certain points, and debrief is facilitated.

Participants may have the opportunity to practice the scenario following video viewing.
