ABSTRACT
In situ simulation refers to simulation in actual clinical settings, with actual staff, equipment, and systems. It allows team members to experience actual or possible cognitive, psychological, and physical experiences that they cannot envisage in laboratory environments. Two cases illustrate how in situ simulation helped identifying small real-world obstacles and leading to better team performance. In situ simulations with multiple professional groups can provide more potential solutions to difficulties through collaboration and then increase the adaptive capacity of the team. In addition, sharing constructive learning experiences can foster psychological safety at work and facilitate teamwork across boundaries.
