Simulations hold great promise for medical education, but not all simulations are effective, and reviews of simulation-based medical education research indicate that most evaluations of the effectiveness of medical simulations have not been of sufficient technical quality to produce trustworthy results. This article discusses issues associated with the technical quality of evaluations and methods for achieving it in evaluations of the effectiveness of medical simulations. It begins with a discussion of the criteria for technical quality, and then discusses measures available for evaluating medical simulation, approaches to scoring simulation performance, and methodological approaches. It concludes with a summary and discussion of future directions in methods and technology for evaluating medical simulations.
模拟在医学教育中具有巨大潜力，但并非所有模拟都是有效的，基于模拟的医学教育研究综述表明，大多数对医学模拟效果的评估在技术质量上不足以产生可靠的结果。本文讨论了与评估技术质量相关的问题以及在医学模拟效果评估中实现该质量的方法。文章首先讨论了技术质量的标准，然后讨论了可用于评估医学模拟的措施、模拟性能评分方法以及方法论途径。最后总结并讨论了评估医学模拟的方法和技术的未来发展方向。
