Many medical professionals are skeptical about simulation, and think that medicine, surgery, and general healing skills are too complex to simulate accurately. From your experince with medical simulation, do you think it is effective?
yes we can develop simulation moles for specific study purpose but i have doubt that a simulation model may be developed for a specific disease behaviour in real life situation. in a research mode when we can control on different aspects , a simulation model may provide us some learning
As far as Public Health is concerned, in my experience training and education has reached a gradient where one needs Theoretical education, Skill lab training (Simulation) and then mentoring.
Already you can observe your question from two perspectives:
1. ethical: is you don´t practice first in simulation lab, your first mistakes are on patients and people, and you can produce damage. IN the history medical teaching was research on patients without autorization.
2. Techical: Is necessaty simulation to increase and reach skills for daily practice.
