Simulation training for real-world experiences
Like the practice of medicine itself, the training of physicians and other health care professionals has evolved as new technologies and methods have appeared.
Today’s training often involves the use of high-tech simulators that closely replicate diseases and conditions that physicians encounter in the real world.
For learners, simulators expand the breadth and depth of essential skills by offering opportunities for practice and ensuring mastery of standardized processes.
For patients, simulation training enhances the quality and safety of care received because providers are better prepared and more proficient during their training years and as they enter practice.
