Abstract. Simulation training in medicine is a progressive step forward in the process of training of qualified medical providers. The development of this applied learning has been lasting since 18th century when first devices for simulation with educational purposes were firstly developed. This article describes key aspects of formation of simulation training methods, their gradual development, current state and activity based on one of the first and until nowadays top-ranking center for medical simulation that is located at Harvard Medical School.
