ABSTRACT
Simulation is considered to be a paradigm shift in surgical education and skills acquisition. Today simulation is accepted to be a new concept not only for Surgery but also for the entire health education. This paper aims to improve the awareness of simulation technology and is to assist those individuals and institutions who are in the process of building a simulation centre or envisioning the formation of a simulation program in their future endeavors. The author shares his experience with the medical community and provides information to access other resources in support of simulation programs.
