Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical simulation has recently acquired great importance in the health sciences. It is a pedagogical methodology that is increasingly used in health science degrees, since it is very useful for the acquisition of both technical and non-technical skills (leadership, teamwork and effective communication, among others).

However, if the investigators focus on physical therapy, the use of clinical simulation is a novel field and therefore requires a great deal of research. Researchers in this field do not yet have the consistency and experience as in other health branches such as medicine or nursing, where the participants have been using high-fidelity simulators for years for the learning of all their students.

Clinical simulation allows students to achieve these competencies without the need to practice on real patients. For all these reasons, and because of the situation of need generated in recent years, in which internships in hospitals and clinical centers were completely suppressed, the need for our research is justified.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Ottawa Scale	Modified Ottawa Scale for the acquisition of non-technical skills, validated in Spanish (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.redar.2021.02.009).; Each of the items evaluated must is be classified from 'strongly disagree', whose value is one, to 'strongly agree', whose value is 7. The minimum value is six and maximum value is forty-two. Higher scores mean a better outcome.; The scale will be passed after each of the 9 simulations.	2 week, 4 week, 6 week.
