Development of a Neonatal Interactive Simulator by Using an RFID Module for Healthcare Professionals Training 53 administrate medications through the umbilical cord based on the medical interpretation of the patient's symptoms which are recreated by virtual reality using animated graphics. The medical simulation: context and backgroundA simulator is an artificial representation of the real world giving the enough fidelity to achieve a specific goal in the learning process (Halamek et al, 2000 ;Ostergaard et al, 2004;Rall & Dieckmann, 2005) .Medical Simulation is also defined as the imitation of a real thing, situation or medical process for the practicing of skills and resolution problems (Halamek, 2008).It is a recent method for learning among healthcare areas, and it reduces the gap between cognitive skills and clinical experience.In general, medical simulation has been structured into 5 categories; see Table 2, according to the method proposed by David Gaba (Small et al, 1999) : verbal, standardized patients, body parts trainers, computerized patients and electronic patients.
