高擬真病人模擬教學是近二十年來醫護教育最重要的創新教學模式之一。在台灣各大醫療機構和醫護學院也相繼成立臨床技能中心並且購置高擬真病人模擬器，藉由擬真的臨床情境演練，輔助課室或臨床教學，強化學生的專業素養和技能。高擬真病人模擬教學是一項整合性的教學策略，在國外的護理教育和臨床教學上，越來越被重視。本文描述高擬真病人模擬教學的發展歷史，近年來此教學策略被重視的原因，並由文獻回顧瞭解應用現況，做為護理教育者教學之參考。

High-fidelity patient simulation teaching represents one of the most important innovations in healthcare education in the past two decades. In Taiwan, many medical centers and medical colleges now have clinical skill centers equipped with a high-fidelity patient simulator. Practicing clinical scenarios in this simulated environment can help strengthen students' professional essentials and competencies outside of classroom and clinical teaching settings. High-fidelity simulation teaching is an integrated teaching strategy that is continuing to receive greater attention. This article describes the historical development of high-fidelity patient simulation teaching, its current status, and applications in nursing education as a reference for nursing educators.
