Abstract

Simulation focuses on active learning, builds confidence, and enhances judgment. Debriefing provides purposeful direction to help improve thinking and clarify thought processes. Debriefing is reflective practice at its best and a critical element in the learning process. Answering who, what, when, where, and how to debrief help focus both instructor and learner, while softening judgment and enhancing positive reinforcement and repetition. Though there are many avenues now supporting simulation in health care, gaps remain, and the future of outcome-related studies requires analysis.
