Objective. Although simulation-based medical education is fundamental for acquisition and maintenance of knowledge and skills; simulators are often located in urban centers and they are not easily accessible due to cost, time, and geographic constraints. Our objective is to develop a proof-of-concept innovative prototype using virtual reality (VR) technology for clinical tele simulation training to facilitate access and global academic collaborations. Methodology. Our project is a VR-based system using Oculus Quest as a standalone, portable, and wireless head-mounted device, along with a digital platform to deliver immersive clinical simulation sessions. Instructor’s control panel (ICP) application is designed to create VR-clinical scenarios remotely, live-stream sessions, communicate with learners and control VR-clinical training in real-time. Results. The Virtual Clinical Simulation (VCS) system offers realistic clinical training in virtual space that mimics hospital environments. Those VR clinical scenarios are customizable to suit the need, with high-fidelity lifelike characters designed to deliver interactive and immersive learning experience. The real-time connection and live-stream between ICP and VR-training system enables interactive academic learning and facilitates access to tele simulation training. Conclusions. VCS system provides innovative solutions to major challenges associated with conventional simulation training such as access, cost, personnel, and curriculum. VCS facilitates the delivery of academic and interactive clinical training that is similar to real-life settings. Tele-clinical simulation systems like VCS facilitate necessary academic-community partnerships, as well as global education network between resource-rich and low-income countries.

Introducción: La simulación clínica se ha concretado como el impacto tecnológico del siglo XXI en la educación médica superior. Ecuador no ha permanecido ajeno a ello, pero aún no se conoce con exactitud cuánto ha avanzado, cuáles han sido las instituciones, los recursos, ni los métodos para lograr su éxito. Objetivo general: Determinar los avances de la simulación clínica en Ecuador. Material y método: Estudio observacional descriptivo con datos de instituciones, recursos y métodos que evidencien los avances de la simulación clínica. Se calculan porcentajes en relación con variables como: regiones, tipos de simuladores y métodos de desarrollo profesional. Resultados: En la década del 2000, inició la simulación en Ecuador con la adquisición de modelos anatómicos básicos; desde el año 2010, se han adquirido 31 tipos de simuladores de alta y media gama (total 233 equipos) distribuidos en 30 instituciones universitarias y hospitalarias. En el territorio ecuatoriano la región sierra puntea en el desarrollo de la simulación con un 29%, seguido por la costa (12,5%) y muy rezagado quedó el oriente ecuatoriano sin equipos de simulación. Además, 13 de las 24 provincias, aún no cuentan con simuladores para la enseñanza, lo que constituye el 54% del total de provincias. La simulación en su desarrollo ha implementado capacitaciones, actualizaciones y gestión de proyectos de cooperación interinstitucionales a través de sociedades como la AFEME y proveedores. Conclusiones: La simulación en el Ecuador no ha avanzado equitativamente, existe un desbalance regional y aún persisten regiones ajenas al desarrollo tecnológico aplicado a la medicina. Palabras claves: Educación médica superior, simulación clínica, simuladores Abstract Introduction: Clinical simulation has become the technological impact of the 21st century in higher medical education. Ecuador has not remained oblivious to this, but it is not yet known exactly how much has been made to progress, what the institutions, the resources, and the methods have been to achieve its success. Objective: To determine the advances of clinical simulation in Ecuador. Material and method: Descriptive observational study with data of institutions, resources and methods that evidence the advances of clinical simulation. Percentages are calculated in relation to variables such as regions, types of simulators and methods of professional development. Results: In the decade of 2000, he began the simulation in Ecuador with the acquisition of basic anatomical models; since 2010, 31 types of high and medium range simulators (total 233 equipments) have been acquired in 30 university and hospital institutions. In the Ecuadorian territory, the Sierra region points to the development of the simulation with 29%, followed by the coast (12.5%) and very lagged east ecuadorian without simulation equipment. In addition, 13 of the 24 provinces do not yet have simulators for teaching, which constitutes 54% of the total provinces. The simulation in its development, has implemented training, updates and management of inter-institutional cooperation projects through companies such as AFEME and suppliers. Conclusions: The simulation in Ecuador has not progressed equitably, there is a regional imbalance and there are still regions outside the technological development applied to medicine. Keywords: Higher medical education, clinical simulation, simulators.

INTRODUCTION: Medical education is under many modifications, insertions and new perspectives on the learning teaching process, and the realistic simulation is one of these changes. It includes technical skills, but also attitudinal skills. The original idea of simulation is to integrate theoretical knowledge, skills and attitude.  OBJECTIVES: to tell the experience of building a simulation core in our institution, with faculty development and culture changes. METHODS: using the cartography, 04 teachers and 02 female actors told their narratives by memories and reflections about the path travelled and the knowledge built. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: each one experience on the first simulation scenario in 2018.2. We reached the original objective (students’ participation and study), but also the depth of each one experience and reflection. There was a balance between technique and sensibility. The actor’s role to build and concretize the project was essential in this balance. CONCLUSIONS: the simulation strengthened the attitudinal competences, promoted the faculty development and showed the importance to put together art and technique on the health professional training.
