AB  - Medical  simulation  comprises  the  artificial  representation  of  a  real-world  medical  environment  with  sufficient  realism  to  facilitate  learning  through  immersion,  reflection,  feedback,  and  practice  without  the  risks  inherent  to  a  similar  real-life  experience.1  As  a  result,  simulation’s  re-creation  of  a  real-world  process/system  permits  operators  to  practice/rehearse  various  scenarios  that  may  range  from  routine  practice  to  rare  events  including  complications.  One  central  purpose  of  simulation  is  for  “safe  learning,”  ie,  learning  without  a  real-world  consequence  if  errors  occur.  As  such,  simulation  has  a  long  history  of  use  in  professions  that  require  the  execution  of  precise  physical  and  neurocognitive  tasks  in  high-risk  environments.  For  example,  simulation  has  been  used  to  train  pilots  and  other  professions  where  mistakes  can  have  disastrous  consequences.  We  know  from  the  aviation  industry  as  well  as  other  nonmedical  fields  that  simulators  are  effective  teaching  tools,  improve  learner  success,  enable  repetitive  practice  of  tasks  in  a  range  of  conditions,  and  enhance  task  safety.2-7  Despite  the  ability  of  simulators  to  recreate  numerous  high-risk  and  complex  environments,  the  uptake  of  simulation  for  the  training  and  assessment  of  interventional  cardiologists  has  lagged.  This  chapter  will  review  the  use  of  medical  simulation  in  the  realm  of  interventional  cardiology  as  it  stands  today  in  hopes  that  it  will  continue  to  grow  and  be  integrated  more  effectively  into  training  and  practice.
