“…General surgery, 90–93 OB/GYN, 94 urology, 95 neurosurgery, 96 vascular surgery, 97,98 orthopedic surgery, 99 otolaryngology, 100 and gastroenterology 101,102 have demonstrated the potential usefulness of virtual reality training. The models that have shown the most promise for improving procedural competency are those that use screen‐based video technology as integral parts of the actual procedure, such as endoscopic surgical techniques.…”

Developing technical expertise in medical procedures is an integral component of emergency medicine (EM) practice and training. This article is the work of an expert panel composed of members from the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Interest Group, the SAEM Technology in Medical Education Committee, and opinions derived from the May 2008 Academic Emergency Medicine Consensus Conference, ''The Science of Simulation in Healthcare.'' The writing group reviewed the simulation literature on procedures germane to EM training, virtual reality training, and instructional learning theory as it pertains to skill acquisition and procedural skills decay. The authors discuss the role of simulation in teaching technical expertise, identify training conditions that lead to effective learning, and provide recommendations for future foci of research.

“…13 The remaining two surgical articles were reviews of SBE for urology procedures 14 and VR simulation in surgical oncology. 15 Of the two nonsurgical articles, one article conducted an economic analysis of a Procedicus Vascular Interventional System Trainer to an animal laboratory for endovascular skills training 16 and the other was a review of VR simulators in dental education. 17 As illustrated in Figure 1, a total of seven distinct articles were identified from both queries which reported cost analyses of large-scale training program implementations.…”

A targeted systematic review of cost analyses for implementation of simulation-based education in healthcare

Over the past two decades, there has been an increase in the use of simulation-based education for training healthcare providers in technical and non-technical skills. Simulation education and research programs have mostly focused on the impact on clinical knowledge and improvement of technical skills rather than on cost. To study and characterize existing evidence to inform multi-stakeholder investment decisions, we performed a systematic review of the literature on costs in simulation-based education in medicine in general and in neonatal resuscitation as a particular focus. We conducted a systematic literature search of the PubMed database using two targeted queries. The first searched for cost analyses of healthcare simulation-based education more broadly, and the second was more narrowly focused on cost analyses of neonatal resuscitation training. The more general query identified 47 qualified articles. The most common specialties for education interventions were surgery (51%); obstetrics, gynecology, or pediatrics (11%); medicine, nursing, or medical school (11%); and urology (9%), accounting for over 80% of articles. The neonatal resuscitation query identified five qualified articles. The two queries identified seven large-scale training implementation studies, one in the United States and six in low-income countries. There were two articles each from Tanzania and India and one article each from Zambia and Ghana. Methods, definitions, and reported estimates varied across articles, implying interpretation, comparison, and generalization of program effects are challenging. More work is needed to understand the costs, processes, and outcomes likely to make simulation-based education programs cost-effective and scalable. To optimize return on investments in training, assessing resource requirements, associated costs, and subsequent outcomes can inform stakeholders about the potential sustainability of SBE programs. Healthcare stakeholders and decision makers will benefit from more transparent, consistent, rigorous, and explicit assessments of simulation-based education program development and implementation costs in low- and high-income countries.

“…This cost calculation is similar but slightly lower than the present one, possibly because teacher's salaries were not included in the current study. 31 The cost per trainee can be reduced by including additional trainees in the program, as costs barely increase if more participants are added, by spreading developmental and infrastructural costs. 32 Therefore, the curriculum will become more cost-effective if more trainees participate.…”
