Intended learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences to be developed by the students):

At the end of the Curricular Unit, students should:

• Know the main theories on which simulation-based learning is based.
• Know the main methods used in medical simulation and when and how to use each of these methods.
• Be able to independently plan, implement and evaluate simulation-based education projects.
• Be able to draw up research questions in medical simulation and link these to the design of studies, including the use of appropriate
• research methods.
• The objectives are compatible with participatory teaching methods, experiential learning in small groups and practical work in a medical
• education and simulation environmen
