Clinical simulation in medical education for undergraduate students

Clinical simulation has emerged as a key strategy in the training of medical students. It allows for the controlled and safe reproduction of clinical procedures and scenarios, contributing to the development of skills and techniques necessary for the hospital environment. Clinical simulation represents an innovative teaching tool in medical training; however, its implementation faces challenges related to financial investment, changes in the educational model of institutions, and the required infrastructure. Therefore, a gradual transition that considers the needs and objectives of each academic institution should be considered. Integrating simulation as part of the university curriculum is a strategic step to improve educational quality and respond to the current demands of the healthcare system.
