Cognitive simulation for the procedural skills learning of medical students: A systematic review.

This systematic review highlights the emerging potential for cognitive simulation to be adapted and integrated into standard procedural skills learning programs for medical students. However, the current evidence lacks robust insights into the efficacy of these programs due to heterogeneity of study design, specifics of the cognitive simulation program and approaches to assessment. Further research is necessary to explore the efficacy of standardised cognitive simulation programs to validate these findings.
