The use of simulation-based education as an instructional strategy can enhance patient safety and optimize outcomes, providing a means for nursing students to “practice” critical thinking, clinical decision making, and psychomotor skills in a safe, controlled environment, without potential risk to a live patient.

The simulation method allows nursing students to repeatedly practice their clinical skills until they develop a sense of proficiency; to learn at their own pace; and to freely make mistakes. Simulation is an educational process that can replicate clinical practices in a safe environment.

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand:

• Concept of simulation-based training
• Difference between teaching and training
• Ethical implications during simulation
