Abstract

Simulation methodology has been successfully incorporated into a multitude of health care education disciplines with demonstrated efficacy through validated evaluation and research. Similarly, health education programs have increasingly implemented modeling and simulation methodologies into their curricula. At this time, however, there is comparatively little research of simulation-based tools or methodologies used in dietetic clinical education. Does simulation-based health education produce positive learning outcomes? Is there evidence-based research to substantiate adoption of simulation-based methodologies and tools in clinical dietetic education? This article focuses on the qualitative and quantitative research currently available in this arena.
