Simulation-based medical education (SBME), an educational technique that enables participants to experience an immersive representation of a clinical event for the purpose of practice, learning, and evaluation, has seen increasing application in medical education. It provides a relatively ‘no-risk’ means of developing skills, and is associated with improved learner knowledge and patient outcomes.

SBME also plays an important role in skills maintenance with respect to low-frequency high-stakes procedures, making it especially valuable in rural settings.
