Compassion for simulation.

This topic for debate explores how simulation based education has become an area where Higher Education providers look to deliver on an agenda of recruiting, educating and assessing for compassion. This paper offers that rather than SBE being a forum for developing and promoting compassion it may actually be achieving the opposite both for those we educate and those they in turn care for. It does this through introducing two ideas, near enemies and Jung's shadow and uses these ideas to explore our understanding and expression of compassion through simulation.
