Characterization of simulation centers and programs in Latin America according to the ASPIRE and SSH quality criteria
CONCLUSIONS: Simulation-based education in health sciences has had an increasing development in Latin America, within a university environment, in an important academic specialization process that seeks to adhere to high-quality standards to improve training and development of clinical skills, human factors, and critical thinking. We recommend starting accreditation processes in Latin America and studies that measure the quality of simulation-based education in our region, based on objective observations more than in self-reporting.PMID:34772461 | DOI:10.1186/s41077-021-00188-8
