Abstract
Simulation-based medical education can ensure medical safety, reduce medical errors and improve students' clinical skills. At present, the main problems in medical teaching are the conflict between doctors and patients, the contradiction between medical teaching and ethics, the shortage of teaching resources and the lack of a universal assessment standard. The advantages of simulation-based medical education are its safety, repeatability, standardization, controllability, relative authenticity, and the cultivation of humanistic spirit and teamwork for students. Simulation-based medical education has two major limits. First, its teaching effect relies on the function and quality of each model. Second, simulation cannot replace clinical practice. This article proposes the following ways and means for promoting the simulation-based medical education: training of faculty is the core, establishment of courses is the focus, cooperation and communication is an important way to promote development, and phased and refined development is the future direction.
Key words:
Simulation-based medical education; Teaching; Clinical skills
