All simulation-based learning experiences begin with development of clearly written participant objectives, which are available prior to the experience. Participant objectives are the guiding tools for simulation. Objectives are essential to determine if the outcomes for simulation-based learning experience have been achieved. To meet participant objectives, identification of appropriate scenario, fidelity, and facilitation methods is crucial.
