Abstract

Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE), is a very practical tool to observe and assess what competencies and clinical skills acquired by students through the use of simulation are teaching. The aim of this study is to establish the use of simulation for injections and vaccines by developing simulation workshops with medical students and objective structured clinical evaluation (OSCE) to evaluate the acquisition of clinical skills. The methodology used is descriptive quantitative design and transversal approach, involving students and teachers from the Technical University of Loja. The information was collected in an observation sheet (OSCE), which consisted of 20 items. Analysis and interpretation of the results was determined that conducting workshops for injections and vaccines where 80% of students tested first cycle of Medicine reached clinical competencies is feasible. Whereupon it is concluded that teaching by simulation is superior to traditional learning, allowing mastery of skills in a controlled environment
