High-Fidelity Simulation in Health Care Education

Official Title ^†

Prospective Study Focusing on Impact of High-Fidelity Simulation in Health Care Education

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of high-fidelity simulation in health care education is an effective training and evaluation model.

Detailed Description

High-fidelity simulation has many advantages in medical education. Simulation-based critical care training is especially valuable due to error-prone work settings and the high cost of patient adverse events. This study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of implementing the high-fidelity simulation in critical care training, and the feasibility of high-fidelity simulation as an evaluation tool.
