The need for a "uniform mechanism to educate, evaluate, and certify simulation instructors for the health care profession" was recognized by McGaghie et al. in their critical review of simulation-based medical education research. [5] In 2012 the SSH piloted two new certifications to provide recognition to educators to meet this need. [6]
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), formerly known as the Society for Medical Simulation is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to advance the application of medical simulation in healthcare. [1] It serves as a resource for young professionals in their growth in medical education and administration. [2]
The term virtual patient is used to describe interactive computer simulations used in health care education [1] to train students on clinical processes such as making diagnoses and therapeutic decisions. [2] Virtual patients attempt to combine modern technologies and game-based learning to facilitate education, and complement real clinical ...
The need for a "uniform mechanism to educate, evaluate, and certify simulation instructors for the health care profession" was recognized by McGaghie et al. in their critical review of simulation-based medical education research. [48] In 2012 the SSH piloted two new certifications to provide recognition to educators in an effort to meet this need.
In medical education, nurse education and allied health education (like sonographer training), web-based simulations can be used for learning and practicing clinical healthcare procedures. Web-based procedural simulations emphasize the cognitive elements such as the steps of the procedure, the decisions, the tools/devices to be used, and the ...
The use of this kind of simulation technology continues to be important, especially with younger generations of medical students. These students have grown up with both entertainment video games and serious games , those developed for educational purposes, making the use of simulators both more acceptable and effective. [ 7 ]
An instructional simulation, also called an educational simulation, is a simulation of some type of reality (system or environment) but which also includes instructional elements that help a learner explore, navigate or obtain more information about that system or environment that cannot generally be acquired from mere experimentation.
Simulated patients have been successfully utilized for education, evaluation of health care professionals, as well as basic, applied, and translational medical research. The SP can also contribute to the development and improvement of healthcare protocols; especially in cases where input from the SP are based on extensive, first-hand experience ...
