Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of the students of medicine of a session of simulation by role-play having as theme “patient centered approach”. We used a self-administered satisfaction questionnaire. Among 221 students, 94.1% qualified the quality of the session as satisfactory: the time allocated to the session (87.8%), the trainers (84.7%), the group size (89.6%) and the general atmosphere (88.2%). They declared that this session helped them to make connections with their previous knowledge (81.5%) and that it completed the practice in internship (83.2%). Our results showed the interest of integrating role-play into the medical education, at least at the end of the first cycle of medical studies. However, improvements of the educational system can be considered.
