Resumen
VAZQUEZ-MATA, G. y GUILLAMET-LLOVERAS, A.. Simulation-based training as an indispensable innovation in medical training. Educ. méd. [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.3, pp.149-155. ISSN 1575-1813.
Simulation-based training consists in replacing reality with a simulated scenario in which medical students and professionals can train in order to acquire communication, psychomotor or teamwork skills. Such scenarios, and the methodologies that are applied in them, vary according to the skills that are to be trained. This type of training is always linked to a feedback session in which participants and tutors analyse the activity that has been carried out, and discuss its strong points and other aspects that need improving. This session must be accompanied by a phase of reflective critical thinking in order to gain a deeper understanding of both the basic and the clinical sciences involved in the process being trained. The sequential utilisation of different types of simulations can be used as a training circuit or as an objective structured clinical examination-type test. In both cases, evaluation is the last essential phase of simulation applied to medicine. Simulation has an excellent learning curve due to its effectiveness and speed, while also increasing the level of safety for patients.
