This new addition to the Essentials series provides a broad, general introduction to the topic of simulation within clinical education. This book provides both a theoretical and practical introduction to the subject of simulation while also offering strategies for successful use of simulators within general clinical education. Each chapter includes a chapter overview presenting what will be covered and what readers should expect to have learned by the end of the chapter, as well as topic explanations within the wider clinical context, with best evidence for statements made within the chapter.
