Background: Simulation based learning is excellent way of teaching all the essential skills but the evidence is scarce regarding how it works best in case of students.
Objective: To assess the perceptions of faculty towards simulated based learning as a method for clinical teaching.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at almost all the medical colleges of Peshawar and did involve faculty from preclinical as well as clinical sciences who are actively involved in teaching. This was preceded by ethical approval from advanced study and research board of Khyber Medical University Peshawar. The responses of the participants were recorded through a pre-validated questionnaire containing 20 items meant for assessing the responses of the faculty. The data analysis was done by SPSS version 23. Frequencies and percentages were applied for categorical data and Chi Square test was used for comparing responses of the faculty with a p value less than 0.05 as significant.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 37 years with a minimum of 25 and maximum of 70 years with SD 10.25. Demonstrators and assistant professors comprised 39% each followed by associate professors 13.3% while professors were the lowest with a percentage 7.8%. Highly significant association was seen while assessing the perception of the faculty about the responses of the faculty regarding SBL can be used adjuvant for clinical practice not replacement for it and “SBL Should Replace Animals in Medical Education Experiments with p value of less than 0.05
Conclusion: According to these results the faculty had overall great perception of SBL as a method for clinical teaching which can further enforce its integration into medical curriculum.
