Introduction and aim.

To analyze the achievement of the educational objectives developed during the scenario of the simulation cases through the assessment of the teacher, the observer participants and the person who performs the simulation itself.

Subjects and methods.

Observational, prospective, descriptive and single-center study, carried out with 3rd year Medicine students at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The teaching objectives for each simulated clinical case are evaluated by the students who carry out the simulation, the observers and the teacher. The numerical evaluation follows a VAS-type scale and the categorical one classifies them as achieved, partially achieved and not achieved. The nervous state and comfort of the students are also evaluated numerically.

Results.

The evaluation of the objectives of 929 participants has been registered. The evaluation of the objectives has an average value greater than 7 for each one of them. There is a difference of 1.5-2 points in the average assessment between the first case and the last, with no student not achieving the objectives in the last case. A state of nerves around 4.5 and comfort around 7 is described, with no differences between the different evaluators.

Conclusions.

The achievement of the objectives is achieved in a remarkable way. Between the first case and the last, there is a significant difference in the degree of achievement of the objectives. There is no relationship between the emotional state of the participants and the achievement of the objectives.
