Abstract:
Virtual Communities of Practice (vCoP) is a nascent approach to professional development for simulation educators (Thoma et al., Simul Healthc. 2018;13(2):124-30). vCoPs overcome geographic barriers to accessing expertise and professional networks and may promote 'democratisation' of voices in the simulation community. However, the optimal process for creating, nurturing and joining vCoPs in healthcare simulation is not well understood. We report on the establishment of our healthcare simulation hybrid podcast/blog-Simulcast (www.simulationpodcast.com)-utilising the conceptual framework of Wenger's three dimensions of Communities of Practice. In exploring these dimensions-joint enterprise, mutual engagement and shared repertoire-we hope to contextualise vCoP within professional development approaches for simulation faculty and invite readers to engage with our existing community.

Virtual Work
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
