Abstract: Clinical scenario-based simulation is a critical instructional method for cultivaing the clinical competence of healthcare practitioners. In order to enhance the understanding of clinical scenario-based simulation among medical educators and to achieve teaching effectiveness through the implementation of clinical scenario-based simulation, this article reviewed key literature on scenario-based simulation in healthcare education, delineated the essence and current application status of this method and revealed prevalent challenges within China's healthcare simulation centers, including a shortage of simulation operation specialists, limited teacher competence, and low learner awareness. To address these issues, the article proposes strengthening faculty development, increasing learner engagement, and advancing the standardization and institutionalization of scenario-based simulation curricula. These suggestions are intended to foster the advancement of scenario-based simulation in medical education and to elevate the caliber and effectiveness of clinical practice-based education in China.
