Medical Simulation in Medical Education: A 2011 AAMC Survey
The AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges), working jointly with the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), the Association for Standardized Patient Educators (ASPE), and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) developed a survey to better understand how medical schools and teaching hospitals are using simulation for education and assessment and determine the operational impact of simulation at AAMC-member institutions. The purpose of the survey was to assess the current state of simulation in medical education by defining how and where institutions are using simulation for academic purposes.
