PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article provides an overview of simulation as an
effective and evolving tool for teaching clinical pharmacology within the health
professions. Further, opportunities for positioning this methodology to meet
current educational challenges are presented. RECENT FINDINGS: Clinical
pharmacology is an essential core competency for all health professionals,
correlating with ability to appropriately and safely prescribe, administer, or
optimize medication regimens. Computer-assisted learning became the earliest form
of simulation applied to pharmacology teaching, arising from increasing pressure
to deviate from animal and tissue experiments in undergraduate education in the
1990s. In the last decade, high fidelity patient simulation, using manikin
technology, has demonstrated benefit in building connectivity between knowledge
and clinical application within patient care. Serious games, or computer-based
educational games, provide an alternative method for creating context, with
potential realized for newer technologies like augmented reality. These tools,
while beneficial, are not applied in a uniform manner across programs. We
advocate for routine incorporation of these tools as they offer significant
opportunities to address the challenges faced in today's healthcare education,
particularly with the need for continued social distancing and limitations on
in-person educational engagement during coronavirus. Partnership with faculty
utilizing simulation in other areas of the curriculum will assist in overcoming
potential barriers to implementation. SUMMARY: Simulation provides various
methods that have significant potential to address the challenges in today's
provision of clinical pharmacology education, especially with new directives for
social distancing and limitations for in-person educational engagement.
