SIMULATION-BASED LEARNING IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: CURRENT PERSPECTIVES, CHALLENGES, AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Keywords:
simulation-based learning, medical education, clinical skills training, competency-based education, patient safety, interprofessional education, educational innovationAbstract
Simulation-based learning has become an integral component of modern medical education, offering learners a safe and structured environment to develop clinical skills, decision-making abilities, and professional behaviors. By allowing repeated practice without risk to patients, simulation addresses key limitations of traditional training models and supports competency-based education. This review highlights the principles and educational value of simulation-based learning, summarizes recent developments and innovations, and discusses ongoing challenges such as resource demands, faculty preparation, and transfer of skills to real clinical settings. The article also explores future directions, emphasizing the growing role of technology-enhanced and interprofessional simulation in preparing healthcare professionals for complex clinical practice.
