title: [Simulation, an emerging learning tool].
abstract: Simulation in healthcare is part of an innovative pedagogical approach. Confronted with concrete work situations, "learners" are faced with dummies in typical working conditions. They are thereby able to practise technical procedures without any risk. Multi-professional and multi-disciplinary groups are favoured and emphasis is placed on the understanding of the job and discussion around nursing practices.
