simulation-based medical education

Simulation-based medical education uses realistic practices and scenarios—such as mannequins, virtual environments, or standardized patients—to help healthcare professionals develop and refine their skills without risking patient safety. This method allows learners to practice procedures, decision-making, and teamwork in a controlled, safe setting, gaining confidence and competence. It enhances learning by providing immediate feedback and replicating complex or rare clinical situations that might be difficult to experience during traditional training. Overall, simulation-based education improves healthcare quality and patient outcomes by ensuring practitioners are well-prepared for real-world practice.
