“Horror room” simulations are used to help train medical students to identify patient safety hazards. This systematic review of 16 studies found that “horror room” simulations are more common in Western countries and focus on medication-related or procedure-related incidents. The authors highlight the need for research establishing parameters regarding the ideal size and composition of the team to yield the highest impact on learners.
