Summary

This chapter describes the several important roles for simulation in sexual and reproductive healthcare training. First and foremost, simulation training can serve as a tool for basic skill acquisition to learn abortion, contraception, and sterilization procedures.Simulation can also provide opportunities for improving counseling and communication, and emergency response team training. Finally, simulation training can foster an environment for discussion, advocacy, and sparking interest in the field of sexual and reproductive health.Many low- and high-fidelity simulation tools have been developed, implemented, and evaluated for training purposes.The chapter details the many available family planning simulation models and evidence supporting their utility.
