Journal of Healthcare Simulation
The Journal of Healthcare Simulation (JoHS) is the official journal of ASPiH.
ASPiH is committed to supporting high-quality scholarly work that advances the understanding and practice of healthcare simulation. JoHS plays a central role in this by providing a peer-reviewed, fully Open Access platform for sharing research, innovation, and reflective practice from across the global simulation community.
The journal reflects ASPiH’s values of inclusivity and collaboration, publishing work from a wide range of disciplines, perspectives, and international contexts. This includes research and scholarship related to healthcare practice, human factors, psychology, sociology, anthropology, communication, teamwork, human performance, education, learning technologies, economics, biomedical engineering, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, therapeutics, scientific computation, modelling, population studies, programme evaluation, and more.
JoHS also recognises the creativity and complexity of the field through a diverse range of article types, including:

Essays
Debate
Perspectives
Key Concepts
