Simulation
What is simulation?
Simulation is a method or technique to produce an experience without going through the real event. It can be done for the purpose of training, assessment or research. Other than the courses provided by the resuscitation council, which have an element of assessment, all of the rest of the simulation you will experience in F1 and F2 are for training purposes only.
Simulation contributes to your ‘core’ learning hours every event is directly mapped to the foundation curriculum FPCs. It is recommended that you do your best to attend these sessions.
Simulation is a technique, not a technology, to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences, often immersive in nature, that evoke or replace substantial aspects of the real world in a fly interactive fashion.
View the Video 'Introduction to Immersive SIM' by Dr Jemma Pringle here. To learn more about what a simulation centre is like and how immersive simulation runs.
