Overview of Medical Simulation
Simulation in the broadest sense is simply the representation of one system by another. Simulation can be used for both education and evaluation. It is a cornerstone for the new education paradigm of Mastery Learning. Non-technical simulation employs role play and/or actors such as standardized patients. Technical skills may be practiced used partial task trainers or complete manikin systems. Knowledge and decision making skills can be gained through software and web-based simulation. Full scale simulation integrates technical and non-technical elements in a realistic environment.
