Abstract

ABSTRACT: Throughout history, simulation has been used to demonstrate various techniques, acquire skills, and maintain best practices in healthcare. Simulation has evolved significantly, primarily because of the extent to which it can enhance both clinical proficiency and patient care. Although simulation-based training (SBT) in healthcare has grown exponentially in the 21st century, it has been around for centuries. This paper aims to reflect on the history and evolution of simulation in healthcare and review its current applications in order to provide a foundation for developing new applications for future expanded use.
