Simulation-based medical education to improve Non-Technical Skills
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Non-technical skills (NTS) are defined as
“the cognitive, social, and personal resource skills
that complement technical skills, and contribute
to safe and efficient task performance”. Having
non-technical skills can reduce the medical error,
especially when human factor has been cited as
a primary cause. Furthermore, NTS can detect
medical error and reduce the consequences from
medical error, which result in patient safety and
quality improvement.
Simulation based medical education (SBME)
is defined as “any educational activity that used in
medical education to enhance or replace real patient
experience”. SBME plays the key role in improving
learner’s NTS. In this article mentions, the practical
points of how to teach NTS with simulation, such
as educational theory, SBME principle and teaching
steps, were highlighted.
