TLDR
Some benefits of simulation technology include improvements in certain surgical technical skills, in cardiovascular examination skills, and in acquisition and retention of knowledge compared with traditional lectures.Abstract:
Changes in medical practice that limit instruction time and patient availability, the expanding options for diagnosis and management, and advances in technology are contributing to greater use of simulation technology in medical education. Four areas of high-technology simulations currently being used are laparoscopic techniques, which provide surgeons with an opportunity to enhance their motor skills without risk to patients; a cardiovascular disease simulator, which can be used to simulate cardiac conditions; multimedia computer systems, which includes patient-centered, casebased programs that constitute a generalist curriculum in cardiology; and anesthesia simulators, which have controlled responses that vary according to numerous possible scenarios. Some benefits of simulation technology include improvements in certain surgical technical skills, in cardiovascular examination skills, and in acquisition and retention of knowledge compared with traditional lectures. These systems help to address the problem of poor skills training and proficiency and may provide a method for physicians to become self-directed lifelong learners.read more

Does Simulation-Based Medical Education With Deliberate Practice Yield Better Results Than Traditional Clinical Education? A Meta-Analytic Comparative Review of the Evidence
TL;DR: Although the number of reports analyzed in this meta-analysis is small, these results show that SBME with DP is superior to traditional clinical medical education in achieving specific clinical skill acquisition goals.

Simulation-Based Medical Education: An Ethical Imperative
TL;DR: Four themes provide a framework for an ethical analysis of simulation-based medical education: best standards of care and training, error management and patient safety, patient autonomy, and social justice and resource allocation.

Low‐ to high‐fidelity simulation – a continuum of medical education?
N J Maran,R J Glavin +1 more
TL;DR: Simulation is an educational technique that allows interactive, and at times immersive, activity by recreating all or part of a clinical experience without exposing patients to the associated risks.

The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance.
TL;DR: A theoretical framework is proposed that explains expert performance in terms of acquired characteristics resulting from extended deliberate practice and that limits the role of innate (inherited) characteristics to general levels of activity and emotionality.

Development of a Model for Training and Evaluation of Laparoscopic Skills
Anna M. Derossis,Gerald M. Fried,Michal Abrahamowicz,Harvey H. Sigman,Jeffrey Barkun,Jonathan L. Meakins +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a series of structured tasks to objectively measure laparoscopic skills and used a linear regression model to test for the effects of level of training and practice on performance.

Assessment of Clinical Performance during Simulated Crises Using Both Technical and Behavioral Ratings
TL;DR: The rating system needs more refinement before it can be used to assess clinical competence for residency graduation or board certification, and behavioral performance can be assessed from videotapes of simulations.

A comprehensive anesthesia simulation environment: re-creating the operating room for research and training.
David M. Gaba,Abelardo DeAnda +1 more
TL;DR: An anesthesia simulation environment that provides a re-creation of the anesthesiologist's task environment in a real operating room is described and it is suggested that anesthesia simulation can be accomplished at nominal expense and has major potential for training, continuing education, certification, and research.
