Outline of Final Research Achievements

Since recent changes in medical care security policy have made clinical training difficult even in teaching hospitals, trainings utilizing suitable models and simulators are becoming essential to acquire clinical skills for medical students. In 2018 &2019, we have held seminars and workshops for medical teachers engaging in simulation-based education in Japan. Through these events, we have observed significant needs for the learning opportunities to reinforce the skills such as organizing a faculty development, providing facilitation or feedback, and analyzing educational outcomes. We need to promote discussion how we qualify teachers/individuals for simulation in view of the circumstances in medical schools in Japan. A sustained effort building an alliance among medical teachers engaging in simulation-based education is essential to reform nationwide medical education.
