The proposals—a bill in the House, HR 855, and its same-language companion in the Senate, S 616—are not a formal part of Congress's massive reform effort. But they attracted 18 bipartisan co-sponsors in asking Congress to increase federal funding for medical simulation techniques in academic medical centers and other clinical settings. Emerging research shows that simulation is a valuable training tool that, in some applications, can improve patient outcomes.
