Reviews
'This book is unique in that it presents a global perspective on simulation in healthcare and education. Contributors from all seven continents share their knowledge and expertise to formulate a concise and valuable resource for faculty and educators alike. Of particular interest is the chapter on innovations and future forecasts... As a new book, readers will be quick to add this to their list of frequently referenced resources. It is well organized with concise and informative chapters that provide evidence-based practices and solutions to the challenges of implementing simulation in healthcare and education. Several black-and-white photos and graphs enhance comprehension of theory, practice and application. The book is unique and offers new insights into this ever-changing field.'
