Abstract: Introduction: Although there is substantial evidence supporting the benefits of simulation‐based education (SBE), its widespread and effective implementation remains challenging. The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of top‐level health care leaders regarding SBE and the barriers and facilitators that influence its wide implementation as part of the postgraduate surgical curricula in Denmark. Methods: We conducted semi‐structured interviews with top‐level health care leaders who were chosen based on their roles in ensuring high‐quality patient care delivery and developing strategies to achieve the goals of the entire health care system. The interview transcripts were translated into English, and a thematic approach was used to code and inductively analyse the data. We used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to identify and understand the determinants to a successful implementation of SBE. Results: We interviewed 13 participants from different political and administrative levels. We found that the participants had limited knowledge about SBE, which highlighted a disconnection between these leaders and the educational environment. This was further compounded by a lack of effective communication and inadequate information dissemination between simulation centres and higher‐level organisations. While participants recognised the benefits of SBE for doctors in training, they expressed concerns about the implementation given the already strained health care system and limited resources. The need for evidence, particularly in the context of patient safety, was emphasised to facilitate SBE implementation. Although participants supported the implementation of SBE, it was unclear who should initiate action. Discussion: This study highlighted the perspectives of top‐level health care leaders regarding SBE and identified the determinant factors for a successful implementation. Effective communication channels are crucial to enhance collaborations and reduce the disconnection between the different health care organisational levels. Strategic implementation processes, including the roles and responsibilities, should be defined and established. These will inform decisions regarding the implementation strategies to effectively integrate SBE into the residency training curricula. A view from the top! Read top‐level healthcare leaders' perspectives on the implementation of simulation‐based education. #SBE #toplevelperspectives #implementation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
