ROSCALES, E. et al. Use of simulation clinic in an Inter-University Master in study and treatment of pain. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.3, pp.131-137. ISSN 1134-8046.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1134-80462014000300003.

Objectives: To describe our experience integrating simulation based training in an Interuniversitary Master's degree in Pain Study and Management from the University Rey Juan Carlos of Madrid and University of Cantabria, Spain. Material and methods: After taking the online and on-site modules, students participated in 6 scenarios of simulated clinical immersion, in order to train patient management, clinical diagnosis, and patient safety competencies, in a realistic environment reproducing the actual clinical work. Results: Five physiotherapists, 1 psychologist, 10 medical doctors, and 9 nurses participated in the simulations during two consecutive editions of the Master. They found the scenarios very realistic and simulation a valuable teaching tool, reporting a global satisfaction of 4.5 over 5. It was also an opportunity to experiment adverse events of the analgesic that are uncommon to observe during clinical rotations. Conclusions: Participants were satisfied with the use of clinical simulation as part of the training program of an Interuniversitary Master in Pain Study and Management.
