Five Questions Critical Care Educators Should Ask About Simulation-Based Medical Education

Dominique Piquette et al. Clin Chest Med. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

Simulation is now commonly used in health care education, and a growing body of evidence supports its positive impact on learning. However, simulation-based medical education (SBME) involves a range of modalities, instructional methods, and presentations associated with different advantages and limitations. This review aims at better understanding the nature of SBME, its theoretic and proven benefits, its delivery, and the challenges posed by SBME. Areas requiring further research and development are also discussed.

Keywords: Critical care; Learning outcomes; Medical education; Simulation.
