4. In your opinion, what was it about the VS design or learning process that facilitated learning?

5. Do you think the VSs influenced your students’ readiness for clinical practice? If no, can you tell me more? If yes, can you give me some examples?

6. Was a clinical partner (i.e., nurse, lab technician) present with you during the debrief? If so, what role did they play and what impact do you think that had on student learning?
