Simulation based medical education in graduate medical education training and assessment programs

The healthcare system has an inconsistent record of ensuring patient safety. One of the main factors contributing to this poor record is inadequate interdisciplinary team behavior. Learning how to function within an interdisciplinary team must begin early in medical training. Simulation based medical education (SBME) is an important part of graduate medical education (GME) training, the acquisition of core competencies and their assessment. In this paper, we describe SBME as it relates to learning and professional maturation.
