Abstract

Simulation-based learning gains space in health education curricula with the use of simulated patients, providing students with skills development in a protected teaching-learning environment. The contact with a simulated situation stimulatesclinical skills training before the contact with real patients. The objective is to identify how the experience of being a simulated patient influences the academic formation of healthcare students. The method was exploratorydescriptive, with a quantitative approach, developed through cross-sectional research with a Likert scale questionnaire, applied through an online survey. This study evidenced that health students who participated in clinical simulations as Simulated Patients perceived benefits for their development as future professionals. Interpreting a clinical case arising from reality makes this learning more meaningful compared to a class with a traditional teaching method on the same subject
