From the Paper:

"As mentioned above, the significance of this study is in the fact that simulated clinical situations with the use of technology, while still being improved, is progressing towards a more realistic experience in the setting of timely faculty guidance and a safe environment within which to acquire fundamental clinical skills. It is also significant in that it provides insight into the disparity between faculty, student and student subset perspectives regarding the value of these simulations, aspects which need to be explored further in future research."
