|
Background: The goal of healthcare education is to bring competency to healthcare providers in knowledge, skills and attitudes for patient care. Simulation has become a popular method of teaching healthcare providers’ competencies. The objective is to teach the healthcare providers with the necessary competency through experiential and immersive learning. The purpose of this manuscript is to find out the current status of simulation learning in healthcare education in Korea. This survey article would be the foundation for furtherance and development of healthcare simulation.
Methods: The survey was done by a dedicated faculty or staff from 97 different simulation centers throughout the country. The questionnaire consisted of basic demographics, type of curriculum according to different learner group (undergraduates, postgraduates, nurses, paramedics, physicians), and thoughts on specialization of healthcare simulation.
Results: Fifty-five (56.7%) out of 97 institutions responded to the survey. The most utilized simulator type was full-scale simulators. Most commonly run curriculums were technical skill competency, resuscitation, and training for algorithm or guideline adherence. The most important factor for advancement in healthcare simulation in Korea was faculty development.
Conclusions: In order to advance healthcare simulation in Korea, we need to focus on faculty and diverse curriculum development, and also try to promote and spread simulation learning to more various disciplines in healthcare community.
