Dr. Lori Lioce has long advocated for the increased use of clinical simulation in nursing education. "Technology has advanced so quickly. We are able to make patient simulators that are so humanlike now that we can use them for formative summative and even high-stakes assessment to validate competencies in clinical education for our students," says Dr. Lioce, a clinical associate professor of nursing at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). "And with simulation education, students are immersed in a situation, which affords us the ability to examine their critical thinking skills and explore the reasoning behind their actions."
