A simulation environment using a simulator mannequin for the acquisition of skills by medical students in traumatic brain injury

Abstract

[EN]The processes of teaching and learning in the health sciences more than justify the use of new education technologies in which clinical simulation helps students to acquire skills and competencies in scenarios similar to those of the real world, but without involving patients physically. The present contribution aims to explore the characteristics and application of a high definition simulator in a group of students from the School of Medicine of the University of Salamanca in order for them learn to manage patients with traumatic brain injury in A&E.
