Message from Marwan Abedin CEO, Dubai Healthcare City It was during the inaugural UAE Clinical Simulation Conference in February 2014 that one could fully comprehend how far the Mohammed Bin Rashid Academic Medical Center, the seat of medical education and research at Dubai Healthcare City, has come in delivering its promise of being a regional academic medical hub. By this admittance, we, as Dubai Healthcare City, look inwards, appreciating our achievements and acknowledging our role in furthering medical education. At the first conference dedicated to simulation, attended by more than 200 healthcare professionals, students and delegates, I gave the welcome address. It led to a realization. It wasn t the strength of the auditorium. It wasn t even the fact that the attendees represented 14 countries. Nor was it about renowned international speakers. It was based a humble observation - these professionals were interested in medical simulation. Health professionals face high pressure situations. Increasingly, studies demonstrate that simulation training allows safe exposure to critical incidents and crisis situations, developing clinical practice and skills. Safer medical practice translates into patient safety and our first conference highlighted this message. The conference also underscored the UAE National Agenda and Vision 2021 to promote education and increase medical capacity. The Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor Medical Simulation Center is yoked to the success of both our first conference and pushing for simulation training in the region. For this, and to its patron Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, an Emirati philanthropist and the chairman of the Al Habtoor Group, we express our deepest gratitude. This book is dedicated to saving lives through medical simulation training. The realization nods to progress. It hints at yet another milestone achieved by the Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor Medical Simulation Center in advancing simulation in healthcare. Simulation, after all, is not a new field. It is however one that makes a virtue of health and safety. Simulation training is rather like a rehearsal before a real-life event. Any professional - be a doctor, paramedic or flight attendant can benefit from simulation training in a safe setting, allowing for clinical errors without harming human life.
