Book Description
The Comprehensive Textbook of Healthcare Simulation 2013th Edition is a cohesive, single-source reference on all aspects of simulation in medical education and evaluation. It covers the use of simulation in training in each specialty and is aimed at healthcare educators and administrators who are developing their own simulation centers or programs and professional organizations looking to incorporate the technology into their credentialing process. For those already involved in simulation, the book will serve as a state-of-the-art reference that helps them increase their knowledge base, expand their simulation program’s capabilities, and attract new, additional target learners.
Features:
• Written and edited by pioneers and experts in healthcare simulation
• Personal memoirs from simulation pioneers
• Each medical specialty covered
• Guidance on teaching in the simulated environment
• Up-to-date information on current techniques and technologies
• Tips from “insiders” on funding, development, accreditation, and marketing of simulation centers
• Floor plans of simulation centers from across the United States
• Comprehensive glossary of terminology
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the book reviews:
“The Comprehensive Textbook of Healthcare Simulation is an excellent resource for anesthesiologists interested in or involved with medical simulation. It has a wealth of information useful for the occasional simulation instructor as well as program developers and operations managers. It is unique in that no other textbook on simulation has been as rich or as encompassing, nor have they offered information provided by such an authoritative collection of authors.” (Noel O’Regan, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d’anesthésie, Vol. 61, July, 2014)
“This is intended as a ‘reference textbook’ for the field of simulation in healthcare. To that end, it provides an overview of terminology, history, and current issues. … The book will serve as a comprehensive reference for medical educators developing simulation programs and as an excellent resource for those seeking to expand their knowledge base. … offers an extensive overview of this field,with some of today’s leading experts presenting their viewpoints of healthcare simulation in a cogent and readable manner. It is highly recommended.” (Rebecca Bowden, Doody’s Book Reviews, November, 2013)
