Faculty development through simulation-based education in physical therapist education

Background The use of simulation-based education (SBE) in health professions, such as physical therapy, requires faculty to expand their teaching practice and development. The impact of this teaching on the individual faculty member, and how their teaching process changes or develops, is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to explore individual physical therapist faculty members...

Simulation-based medical education: an ethical imperative.

Medical training must at some point use live patients to hone the skills of health professionals. But there is also an obligation to provide optimal treatment and to ensure patients' safety and well-being. Balancing these 2 needs represents a fundamental ethical tension in medical education. Simulation-based learning can help mitigate this tension by developing health professionals' knowledge, ...

ompetency assessment in simulation-based rocedural education

The field of simulation-based procedural education in medicine is undergoing rapid development, with significant improvements in both graphic and tactile fidelity. As a consequence, the use of simulation for competency assessment and credentialing is evolving rapidly. Establishing the conceptual framework for developing such assessments using simulation is becoming critical to the expansion of ...

[Pursuing quality in simulation-based surgical education].

There is no doubt that the great triumphs of Formula One Grand Prix drivers such as Fernando Alonso are due to the efforts of a perfectly synchronised team accomplishing every multiple and complex task necessary to achieve high performance. Their results are the fruit of structured, organised and effective training outside the competitive environment. Care is becoming increasingly complex in ou...
