Abstract
Simulation-based training is a form of experiential learning, and can be used to teach basic skills right up to specialized techniques [1]. It is gaining greater acceptance within the medical field after several demonstrated positive studies, and is further supported by similar high-fidelity training platforms used in training other highly-skilled professionals, such as in the field of aviation where great advances in airline safety have been achieved [2]. Simulation has a recognized role in both clinical skills training and assessment, through utilizing repetition to assist trainees in reaching a level of expertise [1, 2]. It is also thought that simulation quickens the acquisition of skills by reducing the learning curve as suggested by Dreyfus and Dreyfus. In their model of skill acquisition, they identified the five stages of learning; novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert [3]. Simulation training allows deliberate practice in a safe environment facilitating progression through each of these stages in order to ultimately achieve expertise [4].
