title: Simulation in pediatrics: Is it about time?
abstract: Pediatrics is a challenging field where "Time is Essence" and the interplay of time-bound dynamics has a huge influence on the outcomes, particularly in an acutely ill child. In this context, simulation based training appears to play a major role in training young Paediatricians to develop critical decision making skills and learning in a risk-free environment. In present times and in future, it is expected that simulation is used by practically every healthcare provider at some or multiple points in the training and certification process.
