Best evidence on high‐fidelity simulation: what clinical teachers need to know

S ince the 1980s, medical education has witnessed a significant increase in the use of simulation technology for teaching and assessment. What had previously been thought of as just a hobby for technically savvy clinical educators has now been fully integrated into the culture of clinical training. This is true not only for undergraduate medical education, but also for postgraduate training and continuing professional development. Hundreds of medical schools worldwide have already developed, or are in the process of developing, clinical skills/ The most thorough search possible of peer-reviewed publications BEME review
