Profession
Today, medical simulation is a vital component of educational services offered to healthcare students, residents, nursing staff, ancillary health care professionals and practicing physicians throughout the world. Simulation-based medical education offers a consistent clinical learning experience without risk to patients. It also offers a psychologically safe and supportive learning environment for the student/trainee. Creating such learning environments requires a specialized skill set. Therefore, the demand for improved and expanded educator skills is needed to improve simulation-based learning. This need creates a demand for specialized courses and programs in simulation-based education based in the framework of health professions.
