Abstract

Background: Clinical simulation is a key tool for balancing the development of medical skills and patient safety. Following reports from the institute of medicine highlighting the need to prevent medical errors In the United States, an initiative that extended to global healthcare, simulation was implemented as a tool in medical training to bridge the theory - practice gap. The UAI reaffirmed this commitment to clinical simulation training, despite challenges in its implementation, to strengthen education and ensure the competence of future healthcare professionals. The aim of this study is to obtain feedback from UAI students who have received clinical simulation classes. Material and methods: (Complete here). Results: (Complete here).
