Healthcare Simulation Training Guidelines and Literature Reviews from the Third Society for Simulation in Healthcare Research Summit

Abstract

The Society for Simulation in Healthcare held its third research summit in January 2023 with the aim of establishing evidence-based guidelines for healthcare simulation training. A panel of researchers, clinicians, and subject-matter experts conducted reviews of the literature addressing 12 key topics and followed a formal process to generate 16 guidelines for simulation-based training in healthcare. Eleven peer-reviewed literature reviews accompany these guidelines. Over the last 12 years, the Society for Simulation in Healthcare research summits have evolved with a consistent aim to advance simulation research, culminating in the formal set of guidelines published in this special issue.
