Recognizing the limited use of simulation in continuing medical education (CME). The purpose of this account is to support implications for simulation technology in CME using evidence from studies in undergraduate and graduate medical education. After reflecting upon the factors that contributed to simulation’s limited use in CME, this paper will inform providers and physicians about the potential and realized benefits of using this technology for life-long learning.
