What is the special value of simulation training for CAS?
Hands-on simulation is the most exciting component of CAS training. It’s risk-free, so there are no consequences for the patient or the physician if an error is made. The physician can develop skills, experience and confidence in a realistic, yet safe environment. Simulation training can replicate more variables and complications than a practitioner would normally encounter. This can shorten the learning cycle by months or even years. Physicians can consult with the trainer and revisit any phase of the training at any time, so their training is truly customized. Also, by its very nature, this format is highly accessible. The simulation modules that have been constructed and are provided by Medical Simulation Corporation, including those that were specifically constructed for CAS, are available at national and regional workshops, major medical conferences, or in on-site mobile training units at hospitals. How does simulation training differ from traditional training? The typical clinica
