Description
Summary:Understanding how learning occurs is useful to inform instructional design and create more engaging and enjoyable learning environments. In this first article of a quartet thematic series on good practices in simulation-based training, we reviewed several learning theories that can illuminate learning by simulation. We describe how to develop and improve a simulation center considering a holistic approach. Finally, we conclude by supporting the concept of developing mastery in high-quality education by simulation as a natural ally for accreditation acknowledgment and demonstrable impact on educational and clinical outcomes with patient safety and better care.
