Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>SUMMARY</title> <sec id="jorc12112-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <title>Background</title> <p>Simulation is a well‐established and proven teaching method, yet its use in renal education is not widely reported. Criticisms of simulation‐based teaching include limited realism and a lack of authentic patient interaction.</p> </sec> <sec id="jorc12112-sec-0002" sec-type="section"> <title>Method</title> <p>This paper discusses the benefits and challenges of high‐fidelity simulation and suggests hybrid simulation as a complementary model to existing simulation programmes.</p> </sec> <sec id="jorc12112-sec-0003" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusion</title> <p>Through the use of a simulated patient, hybrid simulation can improve the authenticity of renal simulation‐based education while simultaneously teaching and assessing technologically enframed caring.</p> </sec> </abstract>
