Published Papers in Medical Simulation

At MSR, The Israel Center for Medical Simulation, the multidisciplinary staff aims to study the efficacy of the various courses provided at the medical simulation center. Research is ongoing into ways of further enhancing the field of medical simulation. The medical simulation center is not merely a place to train health care professionals but a think tank for generating new directions in the field of medical education and assessing their validity.
