Abstract

Introduction: There are few reports on the use of telesimulation and teledebriefing to promote clinical thinking in medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted. After a course of clinical reasoning with telesimulation, the acceptability of simulations and the simulation experience were evaluated. Results: Simulations with simulated patient and monitor were more relevant and useful than simulations with virtual patients. The scenarios helped to improve the ability to clinically assess patients and make clinical decisions, and debriefing led to the development of clinical judgment in medical students. Conclusion: Telesimulation with simulated patient and patient monitor for clinical reasoning was more acceptable than virtual simulation in undergraduate medical students in COVID pandemic.
