Role of advanced simulation in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education

Abstract

Medical simulations are effective education complements for medical training, demonstrating effective learning, level of participation, and improvement in knowledge, skills and attitudes.In undergraduate medical education, simulation provides the potential for valid, cost-benefit teaching and assessment of clinical skills, especially clinical reasoning skills, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Simulation as a training tool in postgraduate medical training is a practical method to provide a kind of educational realistic significance for practicing specialty in order to improve quality of care and patient safety. In particular, simulation is an excellent opportunity to implement reports of security which can be considered a true strategy in order to minimize clinical risk and ensure appropriate levels of quality in daily clinical practice.

Medical simulation in pharmacology learning and retention: A comparison study with traditional teaching in undergraduate medical students

“…Therefore, undergraduate medical students should combine basic pharmacological knowledge with the acquisition of clinical skills to improve the quality of care in daily clinical practice . To reach this target, an educational program that integrates the learning of pharmacology with clinical simulation of technical skills must also be effective and should be appropriately allocated during the 6‐year course in medicine, leading to the improvement inpharmacology knowledge, skills and aptitude of medical students …”

“…In this context, medical simulation represents an efficacious educational tool for medical students’ training, boosting patient‐centered medical learning, and improving aptitude and knowledge . In the education of undergraduate medical students, simulation appears to be valid, facilitates the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills, and minimizes clinical risk for the patient .…”

Ο Ρόλος Της Εκπαίδευσης Στις Κλινικές Δεξιότητες Στην Ασφαλή Φροντίδα Των Ασθενών

“…Δύο από τα βασικά ζητήματα που τέθηκαν στην έκδοση αυτή ήταν η έκθεση των φοιτητών ιατρικής στις κλινικές δεξιότητες από τα πρώτα έτη σπουδών και η μεγαλύτερη χρήση μη-νοσοκομειακών δομών για την εκπαίδευση, όπως για παράδειγμα δομές της ΠΦΥ (40,53). Ενισχύοντας την άποψη αυτή, έρευνες δείχνουν ότι οι φοιτητές της ιατρικής μπορούν να μάθουν βασικές κλινικές δεξιότητες ακόμη και σε πολύ αρχικό στάδιο του προγράμματος σπουδών τους (5,34,35,40,(54)(55)(56).…”
