Healthcare Simulation
“Simulation is a technique that uses a situation or environment to allow persons to experience a representation of a real event for the purpose of practice, learning, evaluation, testing, or to gain an understanding of systems or human actions in a safe environment.”

Access
Rural practitioners have very limited access to simulation-based training opportunities
Skill Decay
Practitioners report skill decay as a result of low volumes and frequencies of procedures
Isolation
Rural practitioners are isolated with limited staff resources and no specialists
Frequency
The frequency and volume of high risk procedures is low – procedure repetitions are low
Risk
Rural facilities incur higher risk due to isolation and limited access to training
