Abstract

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Clinical skills training for medical students is critical so they can provide effective and safe care for patients and involves the development of technical skills, attitudes, and skills. The use of simulations allows the training of skills in a safe environment, with standardized and controlled learning opportunities. We report on the experience of simulation of medical care in basic care settings, home visits and consultations in the health unit, using professional actors who participate in the formative evaluation of the students, through the exposure of their perspectives and their feelings about care. Such a strategy allows the development of clinical skills in a humanized and patient-centered manner.
