Simulation-based medical education (SBME) has been proposed as a method to expose cardiology residents to common and uncommon clinical scenarios. This approach aims to develop the core clinical competencies required for practice amidst many constraints, such as reduced training hours, limited patient encounters, and increased healthcare complexity. SBME fits particularly well in the Canadian Competency-by-Design framework, where the emphasis is on measurable competencies and achievement of milestones. This survey-based study aims to outline the current uses of SBME in Canadian cardiology residency programs, explore opportunities for SBME to enhance current approaches and identify barriers to its integration into the curriculum.
