Abstract

Educators and professionals in medical colleges are facing the challenge of patient safety and imparting adequate, knowledge and skills to their young budding doctors in all aspects of medicine and surgery; as patients are also becoming increasingly concerned that students and residents are “practicing” on them.Educators have faced these challenges by restructuring curricula, developing innovative teaching sessions, and increasing selfdirected learning. A disconnect still exists between class room teaching and the real patient experience. Many students still find it difficult to translate class room gained knowledge into clinical situations. Medical Simulation has been proposed to as a step to bridge this gap. Simulation is already in use in many other industries with success. Vast amount of medical information available on internet has revolutionised the teaching and medical practice for the learner as well as the patients. Patients today are better informed and aware about their disease and expect to receive treatment in expert hands with no error. Simulation can help in dealing with different clinical and surgical scenarios and practicing them to gain proficiency. This article reviews the utility of simulation in medical education.
