Abstract
Simulation-based education in health care is an impactful teaching method to integrate medical knowledge with the psychosocial complexities of clinical practice. A dedicated course in simulation was developed for physician assistant students following the didactic phase of the curriculum, prior to transitioning to clinical rotations. This 6-week course includes a simulation encounter each week. The goal of this course, titled Clinical Simulation, is to provide students with frequent opportunities to apply medical knowledge collaboratively in a team-based approach to address health care disparities and challenging patient scenarios. The course coordinators have created novel, thought-provoking standardized patient encounters that are administered in a safe environment to foster the application of learning. This form of education requires significant advanced planning and components of prebrief, self-reflection, and debrief to be effective (Table 24-1).
