Insights into simulation-based learning: student and faculty experiences in a PharmD program in Saudi Arabia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Simulation-based learning is a highly effective and increasingly popular method of teaching in medical education. The study aimed to evaluate student satisfaction and perceived learning outcome acquisition and to explore faculty perceptions of simulation-based learning.

Methods

A mixed-method approach was employed, which used a cross-sectional survey and focus group discussion that solicited feedback from pharmacy students and academic faculty staff, respectively, about their experiences using simulation-based learning. This study gathered data on three simulation activity formats: computerized, mannequin, and standardized patient role-play simulations. The sample size was calculated with a 5% margin of error, 95% confidence interval for a target population.
