title: The dialysis exercise: a learning simulation for medical students.
abstract: The dialysis exercise is a small group decision-making clinical simulation which has been completely successful as an educational technique. The success of the exercise stems from its ability to engage students cognitively and affectively while teaching problem solving skills. This complete learning package is presented, together with comments on our experience, for use in other settings.
