Simulations in drug training

A simulation over a five-day period allowing clinicians to become patients and apply what they experience is presented as a vehicle from which important learning can take place to help clinicians function better within clinical work environments. The simulation gave clinical trainers and trainees in the drug field mutually shared experiences that were understood and applied to real work situations through discussions, lectures, and presentations. Clinicians had the opportunity to understand how therapeutic structures affect individuals through experiencing the structures as recipients of service.
