Simulation is becoming increasingly accepted as an educational tool in healthcare. Given the commonplace of simulation in medical education, it is important to assess the effectiveness of this educational technique. The purpose of this research is to assess Monash medical student participation in, and attitudes towards, simulation. This will help to identify specific areas for improvement and for focused initiatives in the Monash medical school curriculum. 

Participation in this research involves completion of this survey only. This will take approximately 10 minutes. 

All data collected will be anonymous. 

Participation in this research is voluntary. By completing this survey, you give implied consent for your participation in this research. If you wish to withdraw your results, there will be an option to do so at the end of the survey.
