The effectiveness of similitor usage in the paramedic education

Abstract

Turkey, the educational simulation has an important place in terms of this changing sense in medical education. The universities, which review the training they provide, involve the simulation in their curriculum in order to enable the students-to-graduate to acquire the need of convenient knowledge and some skills during the faculty education. The team that is employed in 112 emergency health services primarily aims to perform interventions for saving the human life in cases of any danger, try to prevent the possible secondary damages while performing these interventions and thus, enable the sustainment of life without any sequela. Simulation presents a learning environment that provides the possibility of a learner-centered experience rather than an experience where the patient is objective, and gives both confidence and support to the student.
