Simulation in EMS Research and Education:

Simulation training has evolved from deep roots in aviation to become an essential component of training and education in the health sciences. This session will discuss the results of a comprehensive literature review conducted to assess the use of patient simulators in prehospital education and research. The results of the review suggest that academic research efforts should be focused not only upon the formal use of simulation in EMS education and training, but also to gain an understanding of the incentives and disincentives in this genre of simulation study in an effort to expand the science of prehospital medical simulation. The speaker will expand upon these conclusions and suggest directions for future efforts in prehospital medical simulation operations.
