TL;DR
Individualized training of medical interns using a computer-controlled patient simulator is an effective means of achieving and measuring competence in initial airway management skills and appears to be transferable to the bedside of real patients.
Abstract
Individualized training of medical interns using a computer-controlled patient simulator is an effective means of achieving and measuring competence in initial airway management skills. The improvement appears to be transferable to the bedside of real patients.

915 Citations1999S. Barry Issenberg
Some benefits of simulation technology include improvements in certain surgical technical skills, in cardiovascular examination skills, and in acquisition and retention of knowledge compared with traditional lectures.
AnesthesiologyAssessment of Clinical Performance during Simulated Crises Using Both Technical and Behavioral Ratings
525 Citations1998David M. Gaba, Steven K. Howard +4 more
The rating system needs more refinement before it can be used to assess clinical competence for residency graduation or board certification, and behavioral performance can be assessed from videotapes of simulations.
AnesthesiologyA Comprehensive Anesthesia Simulation Environment
484 Citations1988David M. Gaba, Abe DeAnda
An anesthesia simulation environment that provides a re-creation of the anesthesiologist's task environment in a real operating room is described and it is suggested that anesthesia simulation can be accomplished at nominal expense and has major potential for training, continuing education, certification, and research.
