Abstract : Studies have reported positive educational outcomes using clinical simulation in medical education. Given the knowledge and skills needed to ensure quality of care and patient safety, simulation is the current and future model of teaching and training. Obstetrics and gynecology specialty is a challenging medical field, where obstacles and conflicts are frequently encountered; however, simulation has not yet assumed a major role in the Obstetrics and Gynecology curriculum. We examined the status of simulation in the obstetrics and gynecology curriculum and developed recommendations based on the best available evidence to formulate a model of a simulation-based training program. Methods: A 10-item questionnaire was modified from 19 questions developed and used by Ari Sanders and Douglas Wilson (2015) and sent to program directors and trainees in all active and accredited obstetrics and gynecology residency training programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to assess their perception on the use of clinical simulation. Results: The study was conducted from October 2017 through March 2018. The response rate for faculty was 69.76% (n = 30/43) and 64.49% (n = 456/707) for trainees. Most of the responses had shown deficiencies in the use of simulation and all agreed on the need of simulation-based training. Conclusion: Residency training program directors and trainees are aware of deficiencies in clinical simulation in their training programs, which is currently considered an essential tool for clinical training. Beyond training, simulation also promotes professional development and encourages continuous assessment, especially in sensitive and surgical specialties, such as obstetrics and gynecology.
