Introduction
The assessment of diagnostic competence in health situations is essential in medical education, but traditional strategies often limit the development of critical thinking. This study analyzes the use of oral clinical cases as an assessment tool to enhance this competence in students of Medical Semiotics II.
Methods
A mixed-methods study with an intrinsic and interpretative case study design was conducted with 80 fifth-semester medical students at Universidad Icesi. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus groups, evaluation rubrics, and non-participant observation. Data analysis was categorical, allowing key patterns to be identified from various sources.
Results
The strategy promoted skills such as metacognition and clinical reasoning. Students positively valued immediate feedback, while faculty members highlighted its practical applicability. Logistical challenges and the need to establish standardized evaluation criteria were identified.
Conclusion
Oral clinical cases are an effective strategy for formative assessment in medical education, fostering diagnostic competencies in real-life scenarios and strengthening skills such as clinical reasoning and reflection. Immediate feedback was identified as a key element in recognizing strengths and areas for improvement. However, standardizing evaluation criteria and enhancing faculty training are necessary to optimize the impact of this strategy on medical education.

Introduction
Simulation-based learning (SBL) has become a key tool in medical education by providing safe, realistic, and immersive experiences that strengthen students' clinical competencies. Despite its benefits, it faces challenges such as high costs and limitations in realism. This study analyzes the trends, collaboration, and impact of scientific production on SBL in medical education.
Materials and methods
A descriptive bibliometric study was conducted using the Scopus database. Original articles published between 2019 and 2024 were selected. Indicators of productivity, impact, and collaboration were analyzed using SciVal, Excel, and the Bibliometrix package in RStudio.
Results
A total of 791 publications were identified. The most productive institutions were the University of Copenhagen, Harvard University, and the University of California at San Francisco. Canada showed the highest field-weighted citation impact. Scientific output increased progressively, particularly in Q1 and Q2 journals. The most frequent terms were “simulation training,” “clinical competence,” and “medical education,” with emerging terms such as “virtual reality.” The United States led international collaboration, followed by active networks in Europe and Brazil. The most prominent authors were Konge and Andersen, with recurrent publications in BMC Medical Education and Simulation in Healthcare.
Conclusion
Scientific production on SBL in medical education shows a growing trend, with high international collaboration and the incorporation of emerging technologies, establishing it as a fundamental pedagogical strategy in modern medical training.

Introduction
This study examines the relationship between academic performance (Kardex grades) and clinical competence, measured by the Practical Professional Examination (PPT), in medical graduates from the Universidad de Sonora. While academic grades are often used to predict clinical success, their correlation with clinical skills remains uncertain.
Methods
An observational, retrospective analysis of 358 graduates (2019–2024) was conducted, assessing both final grades and PPT performance. Nine key clinical competencies, including diagnostic reasoning, physical examination, and patient communication, were evaluated. Spearman's correlation was used for non-normal distributions.
Results
The mean Kardex grade was 92.76, and the mean PPT score was 87.72. Significant correlations were found between clinical competencies (e.g., differential diagnosis and physical examination) and PPT performance, with the strongest correlation in differential diagnosis (r = 0.777, p < 0.001). However, the correlation between Kardex grades and PPT performance was weak (r = 0.152, p = 0.004), suggesting that academic grades do not reliably predict clinical competence.
Conclusion
Findings indicate that strong academic performance does not guarantee clinical skills. Essential competencies, such as diagnostic reasoning, are crucial in clinical assessments. Medical education should integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice through strategies like problem-based learning (PBL) and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE). While academic performance reflects theoretical knowledge, it is not a strong predictor of clinical competence. Enhancing the integration of theory and practice is essential to better prepare graduates for real-world clinical settings.
本研究考察了索诺拉大学医学毕业生的学业成绩(Kardex评分)与临床能力之间的关系,该关系通过实用专业考试(PPT)来衡量。虽然学术成绩经常被用来预测临床成功,但它们与临床技能的相关性仍然不确定。方法对358名应届毕业生(2019-2024)进行观察性、回顾性分析,评估期末成绩和PPT表现。九项关键临床能力,包括诊断推理、体格检查和患者沟通,被评估。Spearman相关用于非正态分布。结果两组患者Kardex评分平均为92.76,PPT评分平均为87.72。临床能力(如鉴别诊断和体格检查)与PPT表现存在显著相关性,其中鉴别诊断相关性最强(r = 0.777, p <; 0.001)。然而,Kardex评分与PPT表现的相关性较弱(r = 0.152, p = 0.004),表明学业成绩不能可靠地预测临床能力。结论学习成绩好并不能保证临床技能。基本能力,如诊断推理,在临床评估中是至关重要的。医学教育应该通过基于问题的学习(PBL)和客观结构化临床检查(OSCE)等策略,将理论知识与实践相结合。虽然学习成绩反映了理论知识,但它并不是临床能力的有力预测指标。加强理论与实践的结合对于毕业生更好地为现实世界的临床环境做好准备至关重要。

Introduction
Learning with phantoms in simulated dental offices allows students to develop not only skills but also empathy by recognizing the simulator as a real patient. This study investigates the level of empathy developed by 4th-year pediatric Dentistry students in a simulated scenario with two pediatric phantoms and analyzes whether the phantoms' degree of realism influences the established empathy.
Methods
A scenario was presented in a simulated dental office using two hand-made simulators: one involving a humanized mask -ELLA junior- and the other an Erler Zimmer phantom mask without the recreation of facial features. Two students performed the roles of dentist and assistant, and a professional actress was cast in the role of the mother. After the simulation, the Spanish-validated CARE questionnaire was distributed among 225 4th-year pediatric dental students, adding 4 questions on the level of perceived realism (obtaining 100% answers for empathy and 97.77% for realism). A statistical analysis was then carried out.
Results
The level of empathy for 9 out of 10 questions was “good”. The dentist's positivity was the highest-rated empathy indicator whilst the interest in the patient-phantom remained the lowest. The phantom without humanization obtained a significantly better empathy mean value (36.86 ± 43/31.19 ± 9.72), and no correlation was observed between the generated degree of realism and the empathy level obtained by students.
Conclusion
The level of empathy obtained by 4th-year dental students in the simulated scenario was good, not finding that the level of empathy improved when using a more realistic-looking phantom.

Introduction
In Mexico, medical education operates in a fragmented health system, with diverse institutions and care levels, making standardization and comprehensive evaluation difficult. Resistance to educational evaluation by organizations such as COMAEM, often wrongly perceived as a threat, further hinders continuous improvement.
Methodology
This study, which aimed to propose an innovative methodology for educational management based on a comparative analysis of the external evaluation (COMAEM) and the internal self-evaluation of a medical school, was carried out with a mixed methodological approach. Both evaluations were contrasted, and the perception of educational quality was analyzed from the perspective of university actors.
Results
The results revealed a more favorable perception by the faculty regarding compliance with the evaluated indicators (87.24%) than the COMAEM evaluation (66.76%). It was observed that the directors were more rigorous in their evaluation than the teachers and students. The latter gave higher ratings in various chapters, including that of professors (4.43/5), in contrast to the COMAEM evaluation (3.25/5). The interviews show a lack of knowledge in the evaluation process and a perception of a lack of efficient feedback.
Conclusions
This study reveals a significant discrepancy between self-evaluation and external evaluation, especially in the perception of compliance with indicators and the assessment of the teaching staff. By integrating various perspectives, the proposed methodology is presented as a valuable tool to promote critical self-evaluation and continuous improvement in accreditation.

Introduction
Evaluating the results of the Final Integrated Practice I, at the School of Nursing - Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Córdoba, in Argentina, the teachers postulated that the transition towards a new paradigm of person-centered care was challenged by a persistent biologicist vision of health among students. Along with the Universidad Siglo 21, we set out to explore whether the Kay Program is an adequate tool to promote resources for teachers that favor the implementation of the change in the paradigm of care.
Material and methods
Participatory action research. Kay Program: Diagnosis, to know the state of the “inner learner” through self-knowledge (own learning experiences) and knowledge about natural ways of learning. Action/Training, resources to transform teaching: workshops approached with creative proposals, reflection groups, experiential activities. Reflection and evaluation of results.
Results
The results support the hypothesis of the research, that the application of the Kay Program (teacher training program to rethink human nature linked to the teaching-learning process; through sensitization, awareness and personal transformation of those who are responsible for education), favored the development of cultural competencies in people that facilitate the paradigm shift.
Conclusion
We conclude that the experience with the Kay Program has led to significant professional growth in the teachers, who now have the necessary tools to implement a paradigm shift towards humanization in nursing education.
