Abstrakt: Technological advancement and improved training strategies have transformed the healthcare practice environment in the last few decades. Simulation has evolved as one of the leading training models for the next generation of healthcare professionals. Simulation-based training enables healthcare professionals to acquire knowledge and skills in a safe and educationally oriented environment and can be a valuable tool for improving clinical practice and patient outcomes. The field of healthcare simulation has been rapidly growing, and various graduate medical education programs around the world have started incorporating this modality into their curricula. In graduate medical education, simulation-based training helps implement an outcome-based curriculum that tests the trainee's actual skill level as the primary factor for the trainee's competency rather than relying on the current model of a predetermined training period. However, the major challenge revolves around developing an educational curriculum incorporating a simulation-based educational model, understanding the value of this new technology, the overall cost factor, and the lack of adequate infrastructure. Hence, embracing the full potential of simulation technology in graduate medical education curricula requires an innovative approach with participation from institutions and stakeholders.
