Clinical simulation provides healthcare educators with the opportunity to provide learners with concrete experiences for abstract concepts. Infection control is one of these abstract concepts. Infection control and hand hygiene continue to have a major impact on preventable medical deaths and the increase in healthcare costs. To control these factors, content taught in the classroom must be translated into clinical practice.
