Modelling is a method to acquire knowledge that may be applied in several sciences and where you work with an object, not in a direct way, but using some auxiliary intermediate system known as model. The present paper goes deep into the philosophical foundations of simulation as a teaching method, starting from its relation with the modelling method. It is explained how modelling, a general scientific method, is significantly applied to a specific science by case simulation, where a model of the medical attention process is used for exercising students in the solution of individual health problems,. The limitations of the use of these models is recognized and emphasis is made on the utilization of these methods to train medical proffesionals.
