SIMULATION IN HEALTHCARE EDUCATION - HARRY OWEN...

Simulation in healthcare education has a long history  yet in many ways  we have been
reinventing the wheel during the last 25 years. Historically  simulators have been much more
than simple models  and we can still learn from aspects of simulation used hundreds of years
ago. This book gives a narrative history of the development of simulators from the early 1700s
to the middle of the 20th century when simulation in healthcare appeared to all but die out. It
is organized around the development of simulation in different countries and includes at the
end a guide to simulators in museums and private collections throughout the world. The aim is
to increase understanding of simulation in the professional education of healthcare providers
by exploring the historical context of simulators that were developed in the past  what they
looked like  how they were used  and examples of simulator use that led to significant harm and
an erosion of standards. The book is addressed to the healthcare simulation community and
historians of medicine. The latter in particular will appreciate the identification and use of
historic sources written in Latin  German  Italian  French  Polish and Spanish as well as
English.
