“…Ever increasing pressures to shorten clinical trainees’ learning curves; the quest to ensure the highest levels of safety at the point of care; technological developments (eg, virtual reality), including industry initiatives; as well as cross-industry influences from sectors where simulation-based training and development have long been part of operational training or personnel selection and appraisal are only some of these drivers 1. More recently, there has also been a parallel expansion in the range of modern training technologies available to clinicians and educators, including virtual reality and web-based learning2 3 alongside the more traditional apprenticeship-styled learning that has taken place in healthcare and the caring professions for centuries.…”

“…[7,51] The benefits of incorporating specialty-oriented simulation training within medical schools are vast: simulators are capable of providing a highly educational and realistic experience for medical students within a variety of speciality-oriented teaching sessions, suggesting to incorporate simulators into the preclinical and clinical stage of undergraduate medical education. [52] Early clinical contact for medical students in the pre-clinical curriculum, aimed to teach communication skills integrated with practical clinical skills, improves student knowledge, efficiency and confidence, which may transfer to clinical practice with improved patient care and safety. [53] Adoption of simulators into medical school education programs has shown great promise and has the potential to revolutionize modern undergraduate education.…”

Medical simulations are effective education complements for medical training, demonstrating effective learning, level of participation, and improvement in knowledge, skills and attitudes.In undergraduate medical education, simulation provides the potential for valid, cost-benefit teaching and assessment of clinical skills, especially clinical reasoning skills, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Simulation as a training tool in postgraduate medical training is a practical method to provide a kind of educational realistic significance for practicing specialty in order to improve quality of care and patient safety. In particular, simulation is an excellent opportunity to implement reports of security which can be considered a true strategy in order to minimize clinical risk and ensure appropriate levels of quality in daily clinical practice.

“…Simulators can be classified as model-based, computer-based, or integrated procedure simulators. [4] Whether the examination is gynecological or obstetrical, patients need to take off their pants and expose their perinea because of the particularities of obstetrics and gynecology treatments. Patients may feel uncomfortable or may experience pain during vaginal examinations.…”
