es requiring hands-on, real-time problem solving. Physician instructors watch scenes unfold from behind the control booth glass. The simulated situation is often filmed and then reviewed and critiqued by the entire health care team and instructors. Participants can repeat the situation and practice proper responses.

The Future of Simulation Center Medicine

To assure the highest quality of health care professionals in practice, Drs. Dunn and Farley agree that future medical licensing training programs and board-level specialist credentialing processes should involve outstanding performance on select simulation-based exams. Currently, the United States' medical licensing exam process uses simulation-based exams only minimally.

"We need to demand uniform excellence in training and assessment of health care professionals, in fair, standardized, respectful manners -- raising the bar and modeling for others. And comprehensive, accredited advanced simulations centers such as ours will play a pivotal role in achieving this," says Dr. Farley.

Dr. Dunn adds, "The rationale for simulation-center-based medical education is persuasive. Administering medical care is a high-risk proposition, and the more experience, exposure and practice team members receive, the likelier we are to improve the care we give to real patients, at minimized risk. This is helping to shape the future of medical education."
