AusSETT is an initiative of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG).
"The simulation educator and technician/coordinator training program, named AusSETT, forms part of HWA's SLE program and was designed to provide a standardised national training program for simulation educators and technicians/coordinators. The AusSETT Program has been developed by an Australian Group that is represented by Edith Cowan University, Flinders University, Monash University (lead), The University of Melbourne, The University of Queensland and Queensland Health."

Th is study summarises the current use of simulation in MRS in Australia. Whilst simulated learning programs are not viewed as a replacement for real clinical experience, participants in the study were excited and forthcoming with ideas for expansion of simulated learning programs. If these programs can be evaluated for eff ectiveness, they promise to be valuable new innovations in training and provide support for Australia’s MRS workforce. There is a need for further research about the effectiveness of simulation in clinical skills development.

"Several universities worldwide are grappling with the challenges of medical education in the context of reduced access to preoperative patients [1]. This is especially important given that most would accept that "the single most important function of 'modern' academic surgical units relates to the provision of a well-structured and imaginative educational programme for undergraduates" [2]. Educational tools that offer engaging modes of interaction were identified as absolute necessary to attract not only candidates to surgical training programs, but students to medical programs in general. One solution that could theoretically address both of these needs simultaneously involves the use of computer-simulated or "virtual" patients."
