The "Competence-based Training and Simulation in Healthcare" project aims to transform healthcare education by integrating simulation techniques, electronic portfolios, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into teaching practices across partner institutions. Key activities include needs analysis, teacher training, student mobilities, and the creation of electronic portfolio templates and simulation exercises, all aligned with market needs and fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and innovative pedagogy. By engaging with the 17 SDGs, the project produces a guide for their application in healthcare education, enhancing the professional and personal development of educators and students while strengthening transnational collaboration. This initiative seeks to establish a dynamic, responsive educational framework to prepare healthcare professionals for emerging challenges, with this paper focusing on the project's implementation in the Portuguese context.
