Table 1 (abstract 0004). Thematic overview over suggestions from the workgroup: Research areas on effects of simulation-based learning in education

1) (Pre-graduates)

Students’ transition from academic teaching to clinical practice – module-based during pre-graduate education

From academic teaching – clinical practice (reduce practice shock)

 a) preparatory bridge to clinical practice

 b) replace some clinical practice

2) (Pre - postgraduates)

Transition from pre-graduate – clinical work (reduce school – clinical work shock)

- preparation with Simulation Based Learning (SBL)

3) Continuing Professional Development (CPD): Healthcare professionals’ clinical transitions / professional accountability transitions at work – preparation with SBL

4) (Post-graduates) SBL as a method in post-graduate formal educations: Nurse Specialists, Residents, etc. achieve learning goals/requirements – quality assurance and exposure assurance

5) CPD SBL for life-long learning (maintaining competence, improving competence, changes in methods, techniques, procedures / processes)
