Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe how to best equip and staff a surgical simulation center. The chapter addresses the differences between a wet lab, a dry lab, and human patient simulation training including the personnel, equipment, and learners for each. It also discusses resource management for efficiently running a surgical simulation center including utilization and data management, product evaluation and selection, and standard operating procedures. The chapter concludes with a focus on budgets and cost, tips and tricks, and the expected future of simulation.
