About

Clinical simulation has recently acquired great importance in the health sciences. It is a pedagogical methodology that is increasingly used in health science degrees, since it is very useful for the acquisition of both technical and non-technical skills (leadership, teamwork and effective communication, among others).

However, if the investigators focus on physical therapy, the use of clinical simulation is a novel field and therefore requires a great deal of research. Researchers in this field do not yet have the consistency and experience as in other health branches such as medicine or nursing, where the participants have been using high-fidelity simulators for years for the learning of all their students.

Clinical simulation allows students to achieve these competencies without the need to practice on real patients. For all these reasons, and because of the situation of need generated in recent years, in which internships in hospitals and clinical centers were completely suppressed, the need for our research is justified.
