Follow on Google News | ![]() Healthcare Simulation Middle East sponsors Stephanie Benfield episode on The Sim Cafe PodcastSpanning empathy, burnout, healthcare leadership and journey from business school to frontline caregiver, the episode packs a punch. Stephanie Benfield has a BS in Biology from DePaul University & a BS in Nursing from Chamberlain College of Nursing.
Ansari Shabnam Ateeq, President, Healthcare Simulation Middle East, says, "If you've wondered who's taking healthcare delivery forward, is it in good hands? Not at policy level, at granular level, where you feel it raw and real. Then the listen-in is for you. Stephanie Benfield is a third-generation nurse. But nursing wasn't her first choice. You want to know why she made the switch from business school to frontline caregiver. She is one of the natural, young leaders in healthcare who carry our legacy forward. With this sponsorship, Healthcare Simulation Middle East builds upon its legacy of showcasing talent, creating content with subject matter experts and building community." The podcast episode takes up the subject of uncertainty and decision-making during the pandemic, among other things. Deb Tauber, host of The Sim Cafe Podcast says, "Stephanie has experiences that serve a newer generation of caregivers. She was on the critical care team when the pandemic stepped into our lives. Till date, Stephanie has worked on multi-disciplinary teams across four organizations. Her grandmother passed away during the pandemic and she was not allowed to be physically close at that time. The leadership, the coping skills and riding a steep learning curve are competencies embedded in these experiences. While the episode is short, be assured that a sequel is not an improbability." Frontline caregivers across the globe set an example in healthcare excellence during the pandemic. The reproducibility of these experiences is limited, except through those who have emerged stronger. Stephanie Benfield, Critical Care Nurse, Advocate Aurora Health, says, "I remember a physician saying 10% of nurses would take the pandemic as an opportunity to grow, and 10% would leave. Which is interesting because the number of caregivers who want to get out of nursing post-pandemic is higher. The duration and secondary trauma have made caregivers revisit career choices. Healthcare leadership and caregiver well-being at the granular level is both - an imperative and agenda for policy makers." Stephanie Benfield - Featured guest on The Sim Cafe Podcast by Deb Tauber.
