Abstract
Simulation is used widely in medical education. The simulation methodologies used at the present time range from low technology to high technology. This article describes how role play, standardized patients, computer, videotape, and mannequin simulations are integrated into the educational curricula for medical students and physicians. Advantages and disadvantages of simulation and barriers to the use of simulation are discussed.
