ABSTRACT
Introduction: Medical simulation is a modality
of education and evaluation that has proven to
be effective for the transmission of behaviors,
skills and knowledge to the clinic. Nowadays it
is an important tool for people who dedicate
themselves to teaching. There are multiple resources
that help the development of skills,
clinical reasoning and decision making that contribute
to the learning experience.
The situation of the postgraduate simulation
at the UNAM: Medical simulation as a
developing subject originated in 2006 with the
creation of the Centro de Enseñanza y Certificación
de Aptitudes Médicas (CECAM) of the
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Later
on, the need for a center that was directed to
the postgraduate students in its various areas
of specialization, was created in 2013, Centro
de Enseñanza por Simulación de Posgrado (CESIP),
becoming an aide in the preparation and
evaluation of resident physicians and specialists
from the country.
Challenges of medical simulation: During
the development of the courses at CESIP, individual
challenges have been identified from
which we have generated experience and learning,
following the philosophy of learning based
on experiences that promotes the simulation.
Some of these challenges are: transfer time,
localization, insufficient realism, limited inputs,
high costs and lack of trained instructors
to teach through this technique.
Conclusion: Although the simulation presents
several challenges at CESIP, which correspond
to multifactorial causes such as costs,
lack of realism, validity and follow-up, utility
has been demonstrated as a tool for education
and evaluation. These do not depend directly
on having high technology but relies on the
medical education culture of the postgraduates
and the status quo.
