What is it about?
Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Innovative simulation training solutions are now being used to train medical professionals in an attempt to reduce the number of safety concerns that have adverse effects on the patients. The value of simulation in undergraduate medical education is now being well established; it basically animates the curriculum. It is expected that our students will be better prepared for tackling surgical emergencies including trauma as houseman and medical officer.

Why is it important?
Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. Simulation is also used when the real system cannot be engaged, because it may not be accessible, or it may be dangerous or unacceptable to engage, or it is being designed but not yet built, or it may simply not exist.
Perspectives
There are limited studies on use of hi-fidelity simulation in undergraduate medical education. Most studies had a smaller number of subjects and have not been analyzed as has been planned in this study. We plan to analyze several factors in use of simulation with ultimate aim to define how it benefits the students in real life.
