Introduction.

Long-term learning is one of the goals of medical education. Combining cinemeducation and simulation was proven effective to teach patient safety (PS) to medical students. This paper describes the evaluation of PS knowledge retention after one year applied to a new clinical context.

Subjects and methods.

In a transfusion error simulation scenario, the comments of 59 3rd year medical students who had participated in PS session with cinemeducation and simulation the previous year were evaluated. Data analysis was performed from a qualitative-quantitative approach, grouping and quantifying student feedback based on 5 of the 11 PS topics according to WHO.

Results.

Most of the students remember the audiovisual scenario and are able to applied complex PS concepts and the actions recommended by the WHO learned a year ago in the new setting.

Conclusion.

The combination of cinemeducation and simulation has allowed the retention and transfer of complex PS concepts to another context after one year. This can be linked to the good reception that medical TV series have among medical students. These can replace the experiential component of the simulation, which in turn provides its own briefing, debriefing and transfer components.
