Abstract

Abstract: Simulation-based medical education is identified as a method of simulating real medical scenarios under the control of standardized technical routes and parameters, which is an important educational tool in modern medicine. Traditional simulation teaching emphasizes students' experiential learning and reflective practice. The weakness of this traditional method is fail to leave necessary time to students for their skill training. Rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) is a relatively new simulation-based training method. This method cycles between deliberate practice and directed feedback to create a perfect practice pathway. The practice by more and more foreign scholars have confirmed the effect of this teaching method with increasing research papers published in recent years. But the faculty trainers in China are not familiar with this new teaching method yet. This review introduces the background and core elements of RCDP through published papers and prospects ,development of this method in future.
