Abstract: Introduction: clinical simulation is a key tool for balancing medical skills development and patient safety.Objective: to identify possible points for improvement in the learning of medical skills in clinical simulation within the IAU as judged by students.Methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted. UAI students who had taken the rotating internship and received simulation sessions were selected. The study setting will be exclusively university and data will be collected by means of surveys. The surveys were elaborated according to McGaghie's 12 sections.Results: the survey was administered to 57 students, with a gender distribution of 33 % male and 67 % female. 57 % had previous experience in a health center outside the IAU. Seventy-five percent considered the simulation to be effective in acquiring skills, and 79 % thought that the evaluations reflected their competencies. However, 63 % thought that the transfer to clinical practice could be improved, and 47 % saw teamwork as ineffective.Conclusions: although the simulations are valued for their realism and effectiveness, areas for improvement were identified, such as curricular integration, evaluation methods, exposure time, and instructor training. It is also suggested to optimize the transfer of skills to real clinical practice and teamwork training
