RODRIGUEZ-DIEZ, M. Cristina et al. Student satisfaction in response to a scanning session in cardiology given to trained students. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.1, pp.35-38. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322015000100006.

Aim. To acknowledge the students evaluation on the simulation as a training tool and their opinion on the ability of students as trainers. Subjects and methods. The workshop was held at the Simulation Center and lasted approximately 90 minutes. The student in charge of training had 10 peers in each session. Previously, these students were taught to become trainers by a professor in Cardiology. After the session, students completed an anonymously satisfaction survey with questions related to the simulation-based learning and the ability of their peers to act as trainers. Results. We obtained surveys from 291 students, 150 from fifth year and 141 from sixth year students (82.4% and 71.2% respectively of those enrolled). The data that we obtained from the satisfaction survey with reference to the learning methodology had a score between 3.64 and 4.75 out of 5. The questions that assessed the students´ opinions on the ability of their peers to act as trainers obtained values between 4.88 and 4.93 out of 5. Conclusions. Simulation is a valuable complementary teaching tool. Therefore, the participation of students as trainers could provide an additional assistance in the cardiological examination simulation workshops.
