“…[27] Because financial control is such an important factor in achieving sustainable success, it is advisable that a financial steering committee should be in place for a simulation facility, especially with the relatively higher costs involved in high-technology simulation modalities. [13,[27][28][29][30] Third-stream income was mostly generated through providing continued professional development (CPD) activities to external clients, although other options for external funding are once-off corporate sponsorships and research funding. An advantage of third-stream income could be higher income through well-attended courses, especially when these are well marketed and advertised and the facility has an established reputation.…”

Background. Research has been published on the application of high-technology clinical simulation as a training tool in South Africa (SA). However, littlehas been published on the operational approach taken and challenges faced when establishing and running a high-technology clinical simulation facility.Objective. To ascertain the current operational approach taken and challenges faced regarding high-technology clinical simulation by SA simulation facilities.Methods. A quantitative descriptive study with an online questionnaire survey was conducted with representatives of simulation facilities at SA publichealth professions training institutions where high-technology simulation is used. The questionnaire consisted of sections dealing with the characteristics ofand challenges faced by the facilities and the following operational aspects: management, funding, staffing and staff development, curriculum integration,physical environment and research.Results. Forty-two institutions were approached and 23 (54.8%) participated. Simulation was used at 16 (69.6%) of these institutions, representing17 facilities, with 14 (82.4%) using high-technology simulation. Nine (64.3%) of the 14 simulation facilities were custom built. Four (28.6%) facilitieshad dedicated technical staff. The participating simulation facilities acquired their funding mainly through institutional budget allocations (78.6%) andgovernment education grants (78.6%). The number of students using high-technology simulation facilities was the highest among the fifth-year (median195) and sixth-year (median 21) students.Conclusion. Large student groups and a lack of trained simulation staff are some of the challenges being faced by high-technology simulation facilities in SA.Recommendations and guidelines should be established to ensure effective integration and alleviation of all operational aspects and challenges

The integration of technology into the education and continuous professional education of allied health professionals is evolving. Integrating simulation as an authentic instructional modality has changed how clinicians learn and practice the clinical knowledge, skills, and abilities they are required to be competent in to ensure patient safety. A lot of advances have been made in the utilization of simulation in various domains. Continuing medical education is such a domain, and this chapter will briefly describe the history of simulation, present simulation as an authentic instructional activity, examine education trends of using simulation-based learning, highlight two applicable theoretical frameworks, and present a case study that effectively utilized simulation as an authentic instructional strategy and assessment during a continuing medical education course for athletic trainers.
