AB Of  the  many  developments  in  cardiothoracic  surgery,  the  introduction  of  a  broad  spectrum  of  simulation  techniques  for  education  and  training  of  students  and  residents  as  well  as  ongoing  faculty  training  are  among  the  most  exciting  and  critical  for  the  continued  advancement  of  the  specialty.  There  are  increasing  demands  for  safety  during  training,  for  training  to  be  more  effective  and  efficient,  and  have  minimal  impact  on  the  process  of  patient  care.  The  productivity  of  training  for  physicians  has  advanced  in  many  ways;  simulation  is  one  approach  to  teaching  that  offers  solutions  to  challenges  in  training  in  general  and  especially  in  cardiac  surgery.  In  this  chapter,  we  describe  a  spectrum  of  simulation  technologies  and  techniques  that  are  being  applied  to  address  these  challenges.  We  also  address  approaches  to  using  simulation  to  its  greatest  effect  and  speculate  about  future  technologies  and  applications  and  how  they  will  be  integrated  into  education  at  all  levels  of  experience.
