The change in curriculum and increasing need for active healthcare professionals providing quality patient care has emphasised simulation-based regular training, reskilling and simulation centres to deliver these. However, there is limited literature on how to establish a simulation centre and overcome the challenges relating to developing faculty and maintaining the financial viability of these centres. Our review focuses on this gap in the current literature. The findings are presented as 1) identification of the methods of establishing a simulation centre, 2) setting up the resource in a simulation centre and 3) faculty development and curricular integration in a simulation centre. The space of a simulation centre depends on the organisation’s or training body’s needs. There is no single design which is recommended. Establishing a simulation centre should consider the needs of the organisation, educators and learners along with the available resources and ensure that curriculum integration and standards are met.

“…Kneebone et al suggest that thinking broadly and focusing on "simulations rather than simulators" may prove to be a more holistic approach. [57] Options that have been explored include global tie ups with established simulation centers [58], using "selective abstraction" in a distributed simulation to include the essential components of a simulation in an economical, remote and functional environment [57] and consolidating two or more simulation modalities to create an affordable and equally realistic hybrid simulation [59].…”

Background: Simulations have historically aided training programs by providing a realistic and holistic replication of professional scenarios and procedures. Simulations have developed over the past 40 years to include varying fidelities and modalities of simulation. Learning in a simulation-centered environment has benefits, ranging from improved patient care to specific skills acquisition while catering to students’ numerous and varied learning approaches. Simulation is a multifaceted field that benefits all parties, the teachers, the learners, and the patients. The application of simulation to medical education and its amalgamation with other modes and substitutes allows for a more integrated learning and testing curriculum that advances the current trajectory of medical education. Such developments, however, are limited to resource rich areas, leaving behind low-middle income countries to use traditional, less evolved methodologies and practices. This review aimed to explore different aspects of simulation and focus specifically on low-cost task trainers and their accessibility. Method: The purpose of the study was to assess the accessibility of low-cost task trainers in terms of cost-effectiveness, distribution, validation, and frequency within specific specialties. To do so, 84 PubMed publications have been screened, and 39 filtered research studies have collected the necessary data. After analyzing the papers, we classified the following information – process, specialization, validation (y/n), costs, development location, and year of publication. Results: After carefully analyzing the accumulated data from the selected 39 publications, we found that most studies (i.e., 6 out of 39) were published in 2020. Emergency Medicine was the most common specialty for which low-cost trainers were developed (9 out of 39 procedural simulators); Otolaryngology followed this with 8 out of 39 trainers and general surgery with 7/39 of the task-trainers. The price ranges fluctuated and fell within the price bracket of USD 0 to USD 400 collectively. Our review also uncovered the concentration of development of such innovations solely in high income countries (HICs). Conclusion: Simulation is an invaluable tool applicable to a diverse range of phases of medical education. Future conjunction of simulation with low-cost substitutes along with increased encouragement and enthusiasm towards developing cost effective simulation-based learning environments (SBLEs) with the reserves and requirements of these areas in mind may prove to be a reliable option for low and middle resource settings

“…Os resultados da presente revisão integrativa registraram que apenas quatro estudos foram desenvolvidos na América do Sul (10)(11)(12)21) , com ênfase no Brasil (10)(11)(12) . A literatura científica assinala que as especificidades impostas para o uso da simulação, que requer recursos adequados para alcançar os objetivos pedagógicos estabelecidos, influenciam o uso em menor frequência nos países em desenvolvimento (41) . Uma possibilidade para que isso seja superado é a colaboração científica com países desenvolvidos visando o desenvolvimento de centros de simulação em saúde, para assim, ocorrer a incorporação no currículo dos cursos de Enfermagem.…”

“…Uma possibilidade para que isso seja superado é a colaboração científica com países desenvolvidos visando o desenvolvimento de centros de simulação em saúde, para assim, ocorrer a incorporação no currículo dos cursos de Enfermagem. Nesta perspectiva, Snowden e colaboradores (41) salientam a experiência da colaboração entre enfermeiros docentes do Estados Unidos da América e da Jamaica, em que instrutores americanos apresentaram um workshop sobre simulação para o treinamento de instrutores. Depois da realização deste workshop, que incluiu teoria e prática, os enfermeiros docentes da escola de enfermagem da Jamaica foram capazes de desenvolver cenários de simulação, realizar a etapa debriefing e elaborar planos para a integração da simulação em todo o curso de enfermagem.…”

Objetivo: analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre o uso da simulação em saúde como ferramenta educativa no cuidado de enfermagem pediátrica. Método: revisão integrativa realizada com Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (simulação, treinamento por simulação e enfermagem pediátrica), nas bases de dados SCOPUS, MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE e CINAHL. Foram encontrados 2070 estudos, avaliados 39 textos completos, em que 30 artigos compuseram o corpus de análise final. Resultados: a maioria dos estudos são internacionais, atuais e desenvolvidos com estudantes de graduação enfermagem. A simulação foi utilizada como ferramenta educacional para a formação na graduação, capacitação/treinamento sobretudo de enfermeiros e na educação em saúde de cuidadores familiares. Seu uso propiciou melhorias em gerenciamento, autoconfiança, habilidades, comunicação eficiente e construção do conhecimento acerca da temática. Conclusão: a simulação se configurou como uma ferramenta educacional com potencial para o aprimoramento do cuidado em pediatria.
