BRAZAO, Maria da Luz; NOBREGA, Sofia; BARRETO, Francisco  and  ALMADA, Sofia. The Role of Simulation in Emergency Teams Training. Medicina Interna [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.4, pp.39-46.  Epub Jan 02, 2023. ISSN 0872-671X.  https://doi.org/10.24950/rspmi.1229.

The acquisition of clinical skills mostly depends on contact with practice, which is possible through health simulation. This is a way to train and improve skills in a controlled environment, without compromising user safety, improving the non-technical aspect, and testing protocols.

Simulation can take place in centers created for this purpose or in situ, in the real work environment, providing opportunities for learning, problem identification and teamwork management. It is the gold standard in the training of health teams.

The authors describe the simulation activity of the Internal Medicine service in Madeira, with 28 simulation courses held at the Centro de Simulação Clínica da Madeira, reflecting levels of overall satisfaction among trainees above 90%, with an impact on personal and professional development of the health teams.
