The role of learning as a tool for enhancing human efficiency and survival is examined. The advantages of using simulations as a means of improving learning efficiency is discussed. Thirty important concepts based on research findings are presented for individuals interested in promoting learning efficiency. Based on these concepts simulations were constructed and tested at eight national and regional medical meetings.** Reactions were obtained from 846 physicians and other health professionals. This research suggests that it is possible for training institutions to significantly improve learning efficiency.
