Abstract: Real-life critical care medicine creates a poor context for on-the-spot learning. Simulation-based training incorporates psychomotor activities such as visual, auditory, and tactile learning pathways that can evoke a distinctly different, more engaged response from the learner and better mastery of educational objectives compared with the more reflective classical learning techniques. Although clinical experience can improve performance, simulation affords deliberate practice with immediate constructive feedback, reflection, and error correction that can develop expertise in a realistic risk-free critical care environment. The use of an assortment of simulation devices and techniques allows practitioners to develop familiarity with the varied clinical procedures, experience in the management of infrequently seen diseases, and develop the skills necessary for team-based management in the critical care environment. The application of simulation in critical care medicine leads not only to individual educational gains but overall unit quality assurance and safety measure improvement.
