Abstract

This communication briefly reviews research on the use of simulation-based medical education (SBME) for competence assessment and toward goals of healthcare improvement. The idea of SBME as translational science is addressed and examples of how simulation-based education can affect healthcare outcomes are provided. The report concludes with a call for rigorous measurement and research designs in SBME.
