Clinical simulation as a pedagogical tool in Bolivia:evidence and challenges in health sciences

This article analyzes how clinical simulationes implemented in health sciences education in Bolivia and the impact it has had. Based on a review of the literature and a survey of students, the benefits of this method are highlighted: from the development of psychomotor skills to a better ability to make decisions under pressure and face emergency situations. Despite its benefits, significant challenges are also identified, such as the high costs involved, the lack of adequately trained personnel, and the technological limitations faced by many institutions. The results of the survey show that clinical simulation es highly accepted by students, who value this tool for its usefulness in training and for allowing them to identify both their strengths and areas for improvement. In conclusion, clinical simulation is a valuable educational tool, but to realize its full potential, it es necessary to overcome the barriers associated with its implementation, which requires further investment and development.
