In this presentation, we will explore the effective utilization of simulated real-world scenarios as a valuable tool for enhancing learning experiences in professional education. Simulation involves recreating real-life professional scenarios in a controlled environment which may include using high-fidelity mannequins, actors, and/or mock working environments. This approach offers numerous benefits in developing clinical skills, critical thinking, and teamwork among students.
