ABSTRACT

Introduction: this study presents the results of the initial phase of the Project for Evaluation and Certification of Simulation Educators, sponsored by the Latin American Federation of Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety (FLASIC in spanish). Material and methods: a descriptive observational study was conducted to construct and validate a set of essential competencies for simulation educators in Latin America, using a two-round Delphi approach involving 10 experts from different Latin American countries, selected by FLASIC member societies. The Aiken coefficient was used to assess content validity in both rounds. Results: in the initial phase, 43 competencies were generated and organized into six categories. These competencies were evaluated and reviewed by the 10 experts using the Delphi method to ensure clarity and relevance. Items with an Aiken coefficient below 0.8 were revised and subjected to a second round of evaluation, resulting in an expanded list of 48 competencies in six categories, adjusted according to the experts' suggestions. After the second round, competencies that maintained a coefficient below 0.8 for relevance were included only if they were considered optional or complementary. This process, along with the approval of the FLASIC Certification Commission, allowed the validation of the final set of competencies, aligned with high standards for the certification of clinical simulation educators in the region. Conclusions: the final version of the competency list represents an expert consensus on the essential requirements for the effective performance of simulation educators in Latin America, providing a solid foundation for the regional certification process.
