Medical simulation, or more broadly, healthcare simulation, is a branch of simulation related to education and training in medical fields of various industries. Simulations can be held in the classroom, in situational environments, or in spaces built specifically for simulation practice.
Why Medical Simulation ?
Systematic review done from 2000 to June 2015 for 21 study in the use of simulation concluded that :
regulated simulation has proven itself, again and again, to be an effective way to develop medical staff, improve knowledge, skills and clinical behaviors through a training modality that does not directly involve patients. "By integrating human factors, simulation seems to be effective in preventing iatrogenic risk related to medication errors if the program is well designed."
