Objective To explore advantages of simulation-based medical education for overseas students on training of anesthcsia emergency skills.Methods twenty eight oversea students accepting anesthesia practice course were divided into two groups,each group fourteen.The students of simulation group (group S) were lectured with simulation-based medical education method,while the students of control group (group C) were lectured with tradition education method.Results the practice examination record and satisfaction degree for teaching in group S were both higher than that in group C (P＜0.05).Conclusion The simulation-based medical education was better than tradition education method on training of anesthesia emergency skills for oversea students.The simulation-based medical education may raise the learning interest of oversea students obviously,and it is beneficial to students' mastery of practice skills.
