  Simulation: “devices, life-like virtual environments and contrived social situations that mimic problems, events or conditions that arise in professional [medical] encounters”1

  Procedural skills: practical physical skills performed by a physician to complete a medical procedure

  Non-procedural skills: skills not associated with a medical procedure but are integral to medical practice such as interpersonal, cognitive and personal resource skills

  Simulators

o  Virtual Reality – immersive computer programs which recreate the real world

o  Mannequins – more specifically Computer-Enhanced Mannequins, full body models with computer systems which can replicate physiological responses

o  Phantoms or Part-Task Trainers – model of an anatomic region used for teaching a specific skill

o  Computer-Based Learning – digital simulations on a computer

Page 39: car.ca Lifelong Learning... · Identification of Interventional Radiology procedural and non-procedural skills taught using simulation technology 3. Description of education validity

  Simulation has the potential to revolutionize clinical skill training because it provides a risk-free, uniform, accessible medium to train a wide variety of procedural and non-procedural skills.

  This potential can be hindered by sparse and non-uniform evidence of educational validity of commercially available simulation technology. o  Face validity of simulators is easy to assess and many commercially available

simulations have been validated.

o  The ultimate goal in simulation research is to prove predictive validity/transference; this will lead to widespread implementation.

  A wide variety of assessment tools exist to measure knowledge and competence of trainees. o  When designing a simulation training exercise, it is important to choose an appropriate

assessment tool to accurately measure the skill being trained.
