Simulation-based education in health professional education

Summary

Simulation-based education has been increasing adopted to become an integral part of health professional curricula. Simulation aims to replicate aspects of the clinical setting to foster experiential and immersive learning opportunities for students and health professionals in a safe environment without real patients. 
There is a growing body of evidence surrounding the potential benefits of simulation, but there are many under-researched areas particularly in allied health. The efficacy of simulation-based education requires further exploration. Some areas of interest are in the use of simulation for novice student pre-clinical preparation, assessment tool development and testing, and the relationship of cognitive load, stress and performance of learners in simulation.
