The adoption of simulation-based medical teaching and learning is one of the key phases in curriculum development. Instead of learning through apprenticeship, medical simulation enables the development of clinical skills through purposeful practice. Role-playing games and patient simulations are examples of human simulations. Manikins and computer-based simulations are examples of non-human simulations. At the undergraduate and graduate levels, medical simulation has been shown to improve clinical competence. Additionally, it has been discovered to have several benefits that can raise patient safety and lower medical expenses
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
