How effective are patient simulation manikins in teaching clinical reasoning skills?
Patient simulation manikins have become increasingly popular in healthcare education as they provide a realistic representation of patient conditions and allow students to practice clinical reasoning skills in a safe and controlled environment. Evidence suggests that simulation manikins can effectively improve clinical reasoning skills such as decision making, problem solving, and critical thinking. They are particularly useful in teaching rare or complex cases that may not be encountered frequently in clinical practice. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on the quality of the simulation scenario, the level of fidelity of the manikin, and the skills of the instructor. Therefore, it is important to carefully design and evaluate simulation-based educational programs to ensure that they effectively enhance clinical reasoning skills.
