Abstract
There is reasonable doubt that current arrangements for clinical training will sustain projected increased requirements for health education. It is evident that Simulation Education provides a solution to this sustainability problem, and the increasing sophistication of Virtual world technologies create opportunities to migrate elements from traditional to online models, thus addressing the issues of cost of access to traditional Simulation Centres. However, creating exciting online environments in isolation is insufficient in addressing the complex requirements of undergraduate health care training. The authors propose that by balancing the focus between cognitive reasoning structure and the need to establish an emotional connection, they have delivered a high quality, learner-centric online world that increases the ?real world readiness? for undergraduates. Furthermore, by delivering the tool through a supportive online community of practice, the learner has a sustainable, continuous opportunity to practice essential skills in a safe environment before entering the clinical environment.
