The article also describes the latest efforts of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) to promote simulation-based instruction. The article focuses in particular on the activities of the ASA Committee on Simulation Education. Many predict that simulation-based teaching will generate the next revolution in health care education. The ASA is hoping to capitalize on anesthesiology's long involvement and leadership in simulation-based health care education to help bring about this revolution.
