ABSTRACT

Ever since the report “To err is human” was published in 1999 by the Institute of Medicine of the United States, health policy has had great rel evance globally, recognizing the medical error as one of the leading causes of mortality and its social and economic impact. This has led different national and international organizations to work in the prevention and reduction of risks for health care creating the beginning of a culture regarding the patient’s safety. This problem of great relevance has involved medical schools as the fundamental means to promote the culture of patient safety and to implement teaching strategies for this purpose in their curriculum. Although clinical simulation started in 1970, before the report previously mentioned it is now a recommended strategy not only for an optimal performance but also to promote the culture of patient’s safety as it can be used for training future doctors, active physicians and multidisciplinary groups in the health system.
