title: A simulation model for improving learner and health outcomes.
abstract: Simulation has become a necessary and integral part of education for prelicensure and ongoing education of health care practitioners. To guide this process, the Simulation Model for Improving Learner and Health Outcomes (SMILHO) model provides a framework to design the experience from a science of learning approach and links it to learner and health outcomes to add to the knowledge base. Much work has been done in this area, and the SMILHO model will support the future work needed to continue to create effective simulation-based learning experiences and move research from knowledge and skill evaluation to learner and health outcomes.
