INACSL 2025 may be behind us, but we’re still buzzing from the energy, conversations, and big ideas shared throughout the conference. Here are five highlights we can’t stop talking about:
- Interprofessional communication got a major spotlight.
One of the features that sparked the most excitement at our booth? The ability for students to practice not only patient communication, but also interactions with AI-driven healthcare professionals and AI-driven family members. Educators loved how this exposed students to and let them practice real-world conversations.
- “Uncomfortable” scenarios were a hit.
Turns out, educators love the “tough” conversations. Our mental health scenarios, especially the tricky conversations, struck a nerve in the best way.
- SimVox fans showed up in force.
We were genuinely blown away by the enthusiasm. It’s one thing to believe in SimVox—but hearing how it’s transforming real simulations, directly from the people using it? That was something special. Even more meaningful? Listening to users share their experiences with peers. It truly felt like a proud parent moment—watching SimVox make an impact where it counts.
- Missed the posters? Pull up a chair.
All INACSL 2025 posters are still available online—perfect for browsing at your desk over a coffee break. If you’re tracking innovation in AI or extended reality (XR), you’re in good company. We pulled together a quick guide to the must-see posters in this space—and here’s a fun fact: 100% of AI-focused posters received recognition this year, either as Professor Rounds selections or Rising Star awardees.
- 🧠 18% of all Professor Rounds Posters featured AI or XR innovations
- 🌟 28% of Rising Star awardees spotlighted AI or XR technologies
- We’re just getting started.
If you’re curious about bringing AI-driven virtual patients or SimVox into your simulation program, we’d love to keep the conversation going. Whether you're exploring new tools or scaling what’s already working—we’re here to help [Book a time ➝]
INACSL 2025 reminded us just how much is happening in the world of simulation—and how exciting it is to be part of a community that’s always pushing the envelope. From bold conversations to breakthrough tech, this year’s conference wasn’t just about what’s next—it was about what’s now. We’re honored to be part of that momentum and excited for what’s ahead.
