- Only 6% of the body parts and manikins displayed were Black.
- Increasing the presence of racial diversity in simulation is warranted.
- Changing simulation standards will facilitate more inclusive learning environments.
BackgroundThis study examined 2,035 body parts and 395 full-sized manikins within simulation catalogues/brochures distributed at an international simulation conference.MethodThis study employed a quantitative, descriptive design.ResultsNinety-four percent of the body parts displayed were White and 6% were Black. Of the manikins, 94% were White and 6% were Black, a disproportionate representation of the population.ConclusionWe recommend changing policy in simulation to require diversity as a standard to influence manufacturers and educators to provide inclusive learning environments.
