DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2026AO1866
INTRODUCTION
Active learning methodologies have become essential strategies for enhancing teaching and learning processes in medical education.() Among these approaches, clinical simulation stands out because it provides controlled environments that realistically replicate professional scenarios and foster the development of technical, cognitive, and behavioral competencies.(,) This method enables students to safely integrate theory and practice, promoting greater autonomy, engagement, and critical reflection.()
In the domain of practical assessment, the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is widely adopted by national and international institutions. Its application involves solving simulated clinical cases across standardized and sequential stations, allowing for the objective evaluation of student performance in specific competencies.() In Brazil, this methodology has been progressively integrated into medical curricula, particularly during the clinical training phase.
