Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Mean score of skills and knowledge about quality and patient safety
Assessed by questionnaire evaluation of knowledge in the area of patient safety and quality of healthcare using a multiple choice question examination and a survey. This outcome is measured in a scale from 0 to 100 individually and it will be averaged throughout each group.
One year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Qualitative Evaluation of Attitudes and preferences towards patient safety
One year
Study Arms (2)
No Intervention
NO INTERVENTIONThis is the control group. Participants in this group will take the usual course without simulation techniques.
Simulation
EXPERIMENTALThis is the intervention group. Participants in this group will to take the course with simulation techniques.
Interventions
The intervention group will be in a simulated case with mock scenarios and interaction by 'acting out' the clinical situation where knowledge and attitudes about safety in hospitalized patients will be assessed.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- th year medical students enrolled in the course "Quality and Patient Safety" in the Tecnológico de Monterrey School of Medicine, Campus Monterrey.
