Abstract

We developed an innovative simulation using generative artificial intelligence to immerse nurse practitioner students in an experience focused on screening and addressing social determinants of health (SDOH). A persona prompt enabled students to engage in a realistic conversation with a virtual patient, complete a screening, and provide education regarding relevant community resources. An action plan synthesized the experience. During the simulation, students practiced key competencies associated with SDOH. The students' most common one-word reaction was "helpful" (n = 83), and their leading takeaway was identifying SDOH resources. Student feedback signaled meaningful learning, and their performance demonstrated developing competence.
