Classification criteria for simulation programs used in medical education.
Simulation programs are often used in medical education and their large variety allows a classification according to several criteria. A system of eight axes is proposed here for such a classification: topic area, system level, simulated feature, basic model, main purpose, results presentation, warnings, and evaluation.
