Abstract

MORAN FERNANDEZ, Alfredo. The surgical simulation laboratory in the teaching-learning process of surgical sciences. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2024, vol.16  Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 2077-2874.

Surgical simulation laboratories make it possible to perfect skills and reduce learning gaps in the teaching of surgical sciences because it is possible to reduce training time and improve quality, without stress for professionals and with greater safety for patients. The use of simulators allows minimizing the ethical conflict between patient safety and teaching, achieving greater efficiency in the teaching-learning process, by reducing costs for supplies and patient complications. It is the author's purpose to communicate about the importance of surgical simulation laboratories in medical teaching and to motivate the Universities of Medical Sciences in Cuba so that, through development projects, they can obtain useful alternatives with these learning strategies before the economic effects caused by the blockade.
