  1. A simulation’s effectiveness depends more on the educational qualities of its scenario

  2. DPS lends itself well to opportunistic teaching around errors made during the simulation

  3. Encourage the learner to think aloud by asking “What will you do next?”

  4. Up to 50 per cent of the learning during a simulation occurs as a result of learners’ self-reflections

  5. [DPS] permits repetitive practice with feedback
