Clinical simulation training provides a realistic environment for students and healthcare professionals to strengthen and broaden skills and abilities. This type of learning experience creates a controlled environment in which learners may attain new skills or further develop skills that positively impact patient outcomes. Although few studies exist regarding the use of clinical simulation training and nutrition support practitioners, preliminary data following a small‐bowel feeding tube (SBFT) insertion workshop for intensive care unit registered nurses and registered dietitian nutritionists showed potential use in this realm. The purpose of this paper is to provide a basic overview of clinical simulation learning, review literature related to clinical simulation in healthcare, and discuss the recent implementation of a SBFT insertion workshop incorporating clinical simulation learning.
