A Simulation Story

Öz

Abstract Simulation can be defined as a method or technique for learning that produces experiences without living a real event, guided by instructors. It offers opportunities for learning that are not available in real-life experiences, while also providing a multifaceted, educationally guided, feedback-rich, and safe environment. In medical education, it is essential for medical students to be adequately prepared before encountering real patients. When faced with actual patients, adapting to a biopsychosocial approach and providing appropriate individual solutions is part of the art of medicine. Integrating different teaching methods with technology will contribute to the development of higher-quality physicians. One such teaching method is medical simulation. Simulation applications provide the opportunity to work within dynamic scenarios that are rarely experienced under real conditions, sometimes difficult to replicate, and may pose risks to patients from a medical perspective. These dynamics will enable healthcare professionals to gain experience in increasingly prominent topics such as patient rights, ethics, and patient safety, allowing for more competent interventions. In this context, simulation-based education can serve as an important mechanism for enhancing the skills of healthcare professionals and can be an effective approach in teaching clinical skills. The use of simulation-based education is invaluable in terms of integrating preclinical and clinical education in undergraduate programs, offering opportunities for rare case scenarios in postgraduate training, and contributing to the fields of malpractice, patient safety, and accountability in medical education, which are increasingly important today.
