Simulation has been a valuable educational tool for decades in health care. They have been particularly good for learning procedures and for specialties like surgery. There has been an increasing interest in simulations and there should be many interesting studies of learning from simulations in the next several years.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has recently opened a new Simulation Simulation Learning and Research Network (SimLearn). They've already produced a great 124 page resource: A Review of Simulation-Based Strategies for Healthcare, Education, and Training. It's a good place to start for anyone wanting an overview simulations in health care.
