Old methods of training and medical education are coming at halt considering chances of errors, neglect and communication gaps amongst medical teams associated with the traditional methods, leading to avoidable patient mortality. Simulation based learning is slowly replacing the old methods given its provision of safe environment to medical professionals to polish their skills and knowledge without the risk of any loss of patient lives. This article discusses the experience of simulation based learning as it is tried to being introduced at one of the hospitals of Pakistan, a resource limited nation and the challenges that has to be faced in trying to incorporate simulation in the education system in near futureReferences
