What is simulation?
Simulation is an artificial representation or imitation of a real-world process to achieve education through experiential learning. The simulated environment is made to resemble the intended environment as closely as possible to immerse students in an experience closest to real life. The participant feels the same emotional and physical responses as in real-life situations (AL-ELQ, 2010). Simulation is an alternative to practicing on actual patients – a participant can make mistakes and learn from them without the fear of harming someone.
