The growing field of simulation training presents an opportunity to broaden the scope of medical education beyond residency and outside the typical academic setting. It can serve as a medium to connect practicing rural physicians with the data and tools of the robust urban academic centers and enable the same opportunity to improve medical care. Furthermore, the discrepancy between supply and demand regarding simulation training in rural emergency departments highlights future career opportunities within the field of emergency medicine.
