Abstract

Simulation-Based Learning in Palliative Care Education explores the innovative use of simulation technology to enhance the training and competency of healthcare professionals in palliative care. This text delves into the methodologies and benefits of incorporating high-fidelity simulations, standardized patients, and virtual reality into palliative care curricula. By providing realistic, immersive scenarios, simulation-based learning offers a safe and controlled environment for learners to develop critical skills in communication, decision-making, and symptom management. The book highlights case studies and evidence demonstrating how simulation can improve clinical performance, foster empathy, and prepare practitioners for complex end-of-life situations. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of implementing simulation programs, including resource allocation, faculty training, and assessment strategies. Simulation-Based Learning in Palliative Care Education aims to serve as a comprehensive guide for educators seeking to integrate cutting-edge simulation techniques into their teaching, ultimately enhancing the quality of palliative care delivered to patients and their families.
