Editorial commentary: Simulation training in cardiovascular medicine: Problematic, utopian or necessary?

Searching PubMed -all fields- for the string “simulation training”, we find that there is an unabated increase in publications in this field over the last two decades: from less than 200 papers in the late ’90s to more than 1600 in 2015. These papers are published in different journals in a variety of medical disciplines: from anesthesio logy to obstetrics and gynecology, from emergency medicine to ophthalmology, from laparoscopic surgery to nursing. The context in which these studies are conducted is quite different.
