For the field research, students from the Miracle State University of seventh, eighth semester, graduates of the Bachelor of Nursing and Respiratory Therapy degrees were selected, because they have just passed the university learning process. Results: 70% indicate that medical simulation is very important, followed by 57% who did have experiences in the use of simulation, it is also reflected that 22% strongly agree and 44% agree that simulation improves his technical skills, and with a 34% agreement that helped him to have confidence in clinical practice, 40% mentioned that they had realistic clinical scenarios and 45% agreed that this has helped him to acquire knowledge. Conclusion: This teaching process proves to be effective, with true contexts. As the person in charge or technological object, imitates being the patient and then the student can cure him.
