Simulation in radiology
Date: 2010
Following the Chief Medical Officer’s directive on simulation, there has been a drive to create simulation centres and to increase the use of simulation for teaching and assessment. Although simulation makes sense (practice makes perfect) and has worked in other environments (aviation and nuclear industries), the evidence to support its effectiveness in medical training remains limited. Intuitively, clinical radiological practice would appear to be a medical specialty in which simulation should be embedded.
