Clinical Simulation as Methodology within the Teaching-Learning Process in Health Sciences

Abstract

The emergence of Clinical Simulation in Latin America has led to new methods of teaching and learning within Health Sciences and their development in countries like Costa Rica. However, its necessary to share these experiences in using Clinical Simulation and integrate them into higher education curricula, specifically in the Health Sciences, providing basic concepts of the methodology and accompanying them with concepts and methods developed by the Academic Administration of the Clinical Simulation Department of Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, which could make this methodology easier to implement it in institutions that might be given their first steps into Clinical Simulation and its inclusion in the curricula.
