Abstract
The medical training involving theoretical and practical complexity requires settings that contribute to patient safety. It emerged with the evolution and complexity of healthcare systems, resulting in an increase in patient harm within healthcare facilities. The main objective is to prevent and reduce risks, errors, and damages experienced by patients during medical care. The cornerstone of this discipline is continuous improvement, based on learning from mistakes and adverse events. The aim of this study is to analyze the significance of healthcare quality and patient safety, along with clinical simulation in medical education, through a literature review, from the perspective of developing professional competencies. Materials and Methods: Through a review of scientific literature in databases, websites, scientific journals, books, and others, the selection criteria encompassed articles in Spanish from the last 5 years related to the topics of healthcare quality, patient safety, and analysis of clinical simulation within the Faculty of Medicine at BUAP. Results: It was evident that the quality of healthcare and patient safety during healthcare delivery is directly influenced by the quality of education students receive in universities. There's a consensus that clinical simulation contributes to better professional training, serving as an innovative teaching strategy that enables the enhancement of students' and professionals' skills and abilities. The Faculty of Medicine at BUAP includes the subject of healthcare quality and patient safety, as well as clinical simulation, in its curriculum at various levels, which has piqued significant interest among instructors for its implementation. Moreover, the institution is in the process of expanding its clinical simulation hospital, which aims to contribute to significant knowledge. Conclusion: Healthcare quality, patient safety, and clinical simulation play a pivotal role as teaching methods in medical education, significantly contributing to student and physician learning. This orientation toward safe medical practice ultimately impacts the enhancement of patient healthcare. These elements are already partially implemented within BUAP's Faculty of Medicine.
