Key Points
-
Suggests dental educators have an opportunity to diminish the risk of healthcare errors by using simulated training.
-
Suggests simulation training may improve a dental student's skills in communication, leadership, situational awareness and decision making.
-
Suggests non-technical skills are linked to a reduction in healthcare errors.
