Simulation training represents an opportunity to engage learners regardless of language and cultural barriers. Simulation-based training can be effective in introducing healthcare professionals to principles of primary triage and treatment in an effective and culturally sensitive manner. The characteristics of the course with respect to planned formative assessment and culturally competent scholarship were reviewed.
