Anatomage: A New Era in Precision Training for Healthcare
Medical education is progressively emphasizing a curriculum based on cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains of learning, which were first presented about 50 years ago. These reforms are centered on providing the best possible care, managing errors and patient safety, promoting patient autonomy, and allocating resources. There is a global shift in medical education toward experiential (‘hands-on’) learning; yet, applying this notion to real patients is less acceptable to society and raises legal and ethical concerns. Simulation is an artificial depiction of a complex real-world process with adequate authenticity, with the goal of facilitating learning through immersion, reflection, feedback, and practice while eliminating the hazards associated with a similar real-life experience. Medical simulation provides several ways for thorough and practical training, as well as safer patient care. It is a technique, not merely a technology, that encourages immersive and reflexive education...
