Whilst offering multiple opportunities to practice procedural, cognitive and behavioral skills in a protected learning environment, simulation based training (SBT) is widely valued by surgeons at all levels, from medical students to the practicing specialist. Faculty should be expert in specific content as well as in specific simulation educational strategies. SBT effectiveness will not be maximized unless well planned, implemented and evaluated, trends being to build integrated simulation curricula. Simulation centers should work as rich multifaceted educational platforms involving a network of educators, experts in skills, learners and researchers. Translating educational theory into SBT practice will enable to measure the offset outcomes and thus self regulate the simulation center program. We will explore how to design, implement and evaluate a simulation session. We will specifically: (1) Define 6 steps to develop a curriculum; (2) Describe 3 segments of a simulation session; (3) Explain 3 types of assessment; (4) Identify 3 components of giving feedback; (5) List the 7 steps to evaluate an SBE program.
