Abstract

Emergency medicine is a complex and challenging specialty. During the course of an emergency medicine training program, residents must achieve competence in a number of domains including technical skills, teamwork, communication, medical knowledge, and multi-tasking. Medical simulation has emerged as a safe, popular, exciting, effective, and valuable educational tool that is particularly well-suited to the training needs of emergency medicine residents (McLaughlin et al., Acad Emerg Med 15(11):1117–1129, 2008; McLaughlin et al., Simulation in emergency medicine. In: Levine et al., editors. The comprehensive textbook of healthcare simulation SE – 20. New York: Springer, 315–328, 2013). This chapter reviews the role that simulation can play in emergency medicine training, highlights some innovative programs and curricula, and describes some common challenges and solutions for implementing a simulation program.
