I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand.

What is simulation in medicine?

• Exercises designed to mimic real life situations

Simulation in Medicine Benefits of Simulation in Training

• Allows learners to reason through a clinical problem and

make critical decisions with little or no cueing

• Permits learners to make life threatening mistakes without

hurting a real patient

• Teaches inter-professional communication and teamwork

skills

• Provides instant feedback to correct such mistakes and apply

them to future practices

How is Simulation used in Medical Training?

• Procedural Training
• Problem Solving / Critical Thinking
• Inter-professional Communication/Teamwork Skills
• Assessment of learners & systems

Why Simulation?

On November 9th, 1999 - US Institute of Medicine released a report called to Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System. Preventable errors result in more than 40,000 deaths per year.

History of Simulation

• In 1929, Edwin Albert Link invented

the first flight simulator, a prototype named “Blue Box”.

• In 1934, US Army Air Corps

purchased six of “Blue Box” trainers.

• Successful because: controlled and

safe environment and standardized process

History of Simulation in Medicine

In the 18th century Paris, Gregoire father and son developed an

• bstetrical mannequin made of human pelvis and dead baby,

aka “the phantom”.

History of Simulation in Medicine

• In 1960, Ausmund Laerdal, a plastic

toy manufacturer, designed Resusci-

• Anne. Initially just for teaching

ventilation techniques but later added on internal spring to simulate chest compressions.

• 1968, Dr. Michael Gordon,

University of Miami Med School, presented Harvey.

• In early 1960s, Hower Barrows,

neurologist, started the concept of standardized patients.

HIstory of Simulation in Medicine

In 2000s, virtual reality simulation.
