Introduction:

Simulation has rapidly penetrated the field of health science education by gaining acceptance as an educational method and a tool that provides patient safety.

Aim:

To present the experience of the design and implementation of simulation centers with a multidisciplinary approach in undergraduate.

Subjects and methods:

From 2014 the National Directorate of Educational Technologies in health was created, and thus the standardization in the 12 centers of simulation of University of the Valley of Mexico throughout the country.

Results:

Two years after the implementation of the standardization of the simulation centers. Twelve simulation centers have been consolidated nationwide with a strong training program for administrative and teaching staff; In the cohort February 2016 to November 2016, 1951 simulation-based learning scenarios were reported. For the 2017 in the same period 5547, of which 15º have multidisciplinary components. The purpose is to progressively increase the number of multidisciplinary practices with the aim of contributing to the discharge of competent health professionals.

Conclusions:

The simulation-based learning scenarios carried out in a multidisciplinary manner have allowed the reproduction of clinical and professional tasks, in order to develop diverse competencies from psychomotor technical skills, communication and attitudinal as teamwork, leadership among others so important and essential for the students of health sciences are professionals with clinical and professional experience.
