- Collaborative and interdisciplinary learning.
- Innovation of learning strategies (challenge-based and/or simulation-based learning).
- Assessment of professional competencies (undergraduate and graduate) and learning outcomes.
- Creation and development of new simulators, physical, digital, robotic and/or virtual technologies.
- Integration of simulation-based learning into the curriculum.
- Advantages of simulation for increasing the quality of medical care and patient safety.
- Continuing education and training in simulation centers for graduates.
- La calidad en los centros de simulación.
