Abstract
When talking about clinical simulation many people associate it with a strategy aimed at developing skills and general abilities related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation due to the fact that it has been one of the main focus worldwide.
However, this concept is far from the real utilities that this practice offers the institutions in charge of the medical formation as well as other health areas.
As described above, clinical simulation has maintained its focus in being a source of economical income thanks to the sales of resuscitation courses,
neglecting its true value and utility because of the lack of depth given to the practice. When we know the practice’s true foundations we will understand
its importance in the day to day training of the medical formation. It must be approached as a primary strategy in developing the needs of the students as well as being included in the curriculum.
It is important to clarify that this article does not pretend to develop the entire epidemiological bases on a clinical simulation, but more importantly to reflex about its effectiveness in satisfying pedagogical needs.
