Integrando la práctica deliberada en sistemas de simulación para educación médica

Abstract

In this paper, we review some aspects of simulationbased medical education systems and show how the incorporation of deliberate practice processes can augment the learning effectiveness and overcome simultaneously two detected issues on medical education: reduction of available time of experts and a serious limitation of patient availability. We then describe the notion of deliberate practice and show how it can be implemented through an intelligent tutoring system. Finally, we conclude that the implementation of intelligent tutoring systems is a robust method to make more effective the learning of actual capabilities of high fidelity simulation systems for medical education. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
