Rune Dall Jensen is Associate Professor at the Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University and Head of Simulation at MidtSim, Centre for Continuing Professional Development in Central Denmark Region. His academic work explores how motor skills interact with intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies, with a particular focus on simulation-based surgical education. Rune emphasises a holistic approach to surgical performance, aiming to support skill development in surgical residents and strengthen team collaboration in clinical settings.

He serves as Associate Editor for Advances in Simulation, Advances in Health Sciences Education, and Medical Education. In addition, he is a board member of AMEE’s Simulation Committee, part of the AMEE Programme Committee, and Academic Co-Chair of the International Clinical Skills Conference.

In this episode of the KIMPRIME podcast, Rune speaks with Alina Jenkins about how simulation can be designed to support not just motor skills but also communication, confidence, and reflective practice.

Dr Andrea Gingerich is an Associate Professor in the Division of Medical Sciences with the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, where she teaches for the University of British Columbia’s Northern Medical Program. She has a PhD in Health Professions Education from Maastricht University, a Master of Medical Education degree from the University of Dundee and before all of that, she practised as a naturopathic doctor in rural Ontario.

In this episode of the KIPRIME podcast, Andrea talks to Alina Jenkins about how her research starts by noticing situations in which so many health professionals are not doing what they have been trained to do that their counter-normative behaviour has become the norm, and then seeks to determine why people believe their noncompliance is necessary.
