Abstract
The promotion of student engagement in simulation-based learning depends on authenticity, fidelity, and realism. Moulage is a simulation of illnesses or physical signs onto standardized patient or manikin via using makeup techniques or other elements acting as visual and tactile cues to promote learner engagement through more real-world experience. Therefore, moulage may be used broadly in medical education wherein its authenticity helps to improve the learning outcomes and performance of students in different medical branches such as dermatology, surgery, emergency medicine, anatomy, and forensic medicine. Nowadays, Moulage is already used in the assessment of a medical student as well as in the learning process in many medical schools. However, although the use of moulage as a creative simulation tool in medical education has a positive impact on the educational process, it faces many obstacles and challenges at the same time along with its tangible benefits. Therefore, moulage is not magic as well as it is not fantasy or mock, but it is a fantastic vehicle for representing and simulating the real event promoting realism and motivating students' engagement and immersion.

Moulage is considered a form of art that is used as a simulation tool to add reality to the environment via allowing the medical student to imagine a true representation of medical condition or an injury [4]
Summary
The use of simulation-based learning in medical education gives the chance for medical students to get real-world experience. The use of moulage is considered one of the used methods that enhance the simulation fidelity wherein it should be integrated into the instructional process of psychomotor skills teaching in medical education [3]. Moulage is considered a French word that means molding or casting And scientifically, it is a simulation of illnesses or medical condition or physical signs such as jaundice or sepsis appearance onto standardized patient or manikin via using makeup techniques or other elements acting as visual and tactile cues or applying special effects such as painting bruises, or casting and molding wounds to promote learner engagement through a more real-world experience [5]. In developing manner, constructing prosthetics may be used as an alternative method for making a moulage instead of using the previously mentioned materials [12]
