About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“It is well laid out, with good use of diagrams … and tables, and it handles the topics well. … it is a book to read, reflect, reread, rereflect, and apply to one’s own practice. … If you want to understand why your learners have done what they have done … then this book will be of great help. … No simulation center should be without a copy, and even those very experienced in the field of simulation will benefit from reading this edition.” (Ronnie J. Glavin, Simulation in Healthcare, Vol. 7 (1), February, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
