Abstract

Objective To investigate the application of simulation in the training and assessment of North American specialists, and to discuss the problems and development of simulation used in specialist training and assessment in China.Methods Literature investigation and expert discussion.Results Simulation technology has been widely used in the training and certification of various specialties. In general, it used as a requirement for certification, maintenance of certification or in training process. The application of simulation in the training of specialists in China is just in the initial stage, and the main problems are lack of attention, inadequate investment, non-standard curriculum development and lack of teachers.Conclusions The application of simulation in North America specialist training and assessment is relatively deep, but in China it is still in its infancy. There is still much to do to get a better result.
