This paper describes the design and implementation of a pedagogical activity that combines cinemeducation and simulation in medical education. The activity was well accepted by students and was found to be useful in teaching patient safety. Combining these two approaches facilitates the reflective process and helps overcome some limitations of simulation.
Cinemeducation has been used for diverse teaching objectives in medical education. To our knowledge, there are no published accounts of using cinemeducation in combination with simulation. We designed a pedagogical activity combining cinemeducation and simulation in a programme to teach patient safety. This paper aims to describe the design and implementation of the activity, analyse its feasibility, and assess students' opinions of its usefulness. A total of 70 second-year Spanish medical students participated; 31 (44.3%) completed a survey assessing the activity. Most expressed total or partial agreement with statements indicating activity was useful. The combined activity facilitates the reflective process by applying the emic/etic perspective. While simulations and cinemeducation share experiential learning techniques, adding cinemeducation helps overcome some of simulation's limitations in reproducing complex professional scenarios. This combined approach is feasible and well accepted. Combining these two approaches promises to be useful in other disciplines.
