Popis: Introduction: This paper summarizes a structured expert panel session on the subject of barriers in initiatingSimulation based andragogy in Healthcare Education in India. The expert panel consisted of members ofacademia in Medicine, Nursing, paramedical and representatives from the healthcare simulation technologyindustry.The global burden of unsafe medical care is significant and remains a cause of concern. Studies have shownthat majority of medical errors do not result from individual negligence. Majority of the medical errors havebeen found to be preventable. Simulation Based Medical Education is the way forward in achieving greaterpatient safety and improving patient outcomes.Hence there is an urgent need to incorporate Simulation into the healthcare education system in our country.Objective: To discuss the current scenario of healthcare education, the role of Simulation and experiencesharing on the barriers in its large scale initiation.Result: The key barriers that emerged during the discussion in utilization of Simulation based medicaleducation were capital investment, psychological resistance, difficulty in integrating curriculum and lack oftrained man power.Conclusion: This paper attempts to offer pragmatic solutions to the existing barriers and help mitigatemedical errors and improve patient safety.
