Abstract
As the field of medical simulation grows, there is increasing demand for experts and leaders in the field. Simulation fellowships are one venue for intensive training and faculty development for a focused academic career. We describe here a model for such training, typically offered as a 1–2-year program of professional development. These formalized programs are designed to extend focused training beyond individual faculty development courses and continuing medical education programs, offering an advanced career pathway in the field. As more simulation fellowships and associated training opportunities are offered in the USA and abroad, a well-trained community of simulation leaders will increasingly be available to help guide and sustain the field.
