title: Academic education. Creating a laboratory that simulates the critical care environment.
abstract: Educating students and practicing nurses for the complexities and demands of critical care is a challenge. Training in a laboratory that simulates the critical care setting is an excellent teaching method that can be used to supplement lectures and clinical experiences. Developing such a laboratory is an exciting and rewarding process that will promote learning and ultimately benefit the care of critically ill patients.
