This learning tool was applied and used as a support in two ambits, face-to-face and non face-to-face education, in two different educational levels: Undergraduate and Postgraduate Education.
These were sometimes less general than intended due to cultural differences between educational settings (undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education) and countries of origin of the experts.
In order to determine consistent results and to define training goals for different educational levels (undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education) it will be necessary to accomplish studies over a longer period of time including more exercises.
Currently simulators are used much more for educational purposes (undergraduate: 77 %, postgraduate: 85 %) than for evaluation purposes (undergraduate: 14 %, postgraduate: 7 % (Girard, Ely 2008) and that proportion needs to change with the current needs of using simulation for evaluation of competency.
"Results indicate that exposure to literary but not genre fiction positively predicts performance on a test of theory of mind, even when accounting for demographic variables including age, gender, educational attainment, undergraduate major … and self-reported empathy," they write in the paper, Different Stories: How Levels of Familiarity With Literary and Genre Fiction Relate to Mentalising.

Educational costs (undergraduate, postgraduate and continuous professional development costs from qualification through to retirement).
A sensitivity analysis was undertaken including the following elements: Educational costs (undergraduate, postgraduate and continuous professional development costs from qualification through to retirement).
The following variables were considered as potential confounders in the analyses: gender, age (continuous in the multivariate analyses) and current educational level (undergraduate school, high school, elementary school, incomplete elementary school).
Later interviews with the graduate sample and interviews with educational supervisors, undergraduate tutors, health managers and clinicians who worked with the new doctors were analysed using these themes, which were extended and developed where appropriate to fully understand and explain the data.
