The main purpose of medical simulation is for students and healthcare professionals to learn, individually or as team members. A questionnaire was developed on the use of medical simulators or simulation-based techniques applied to Medicine, and sent to the directors of all medical schools in Portugal (n = 7). The aim was to contribute to a better understanding of teaching through the use of simulation applied to Medicine. In the curricular year of 2006-07 all medical schools used simulators, or techniques of medical simulation, in their pre-graduate training in Medicine. A small number of other initiatives in pre-and post-graduate medical training were also reported. Despite these activities, there is still a large potential for expansion of simulation-based teaching methodologies in Portuguese medical schools. The growing number of students admitted to medical courses, together with the increase in medico-legal conflicts, leads to a need for curricular developments and adjustments in teaching methodologies.
医学模拟的主要目的是让学生和医疗保健专业人员单独或作为团队成员进行学习。针对应用于医学的医学模拟器或基于模拟的技术的使用情况编制了一份问卷，并发送给了葡萄牙所有医学院校的院长（共7所）。目的是通过将模拟应用于医学来促进对教学的更好理解。在2006 - 2007学年，所有医学院校在其医学本科前培训中都使用了模拟器或医学模拟技术。还报告了在医学研究生前和研究生培训中的一些其他举措。尽管有这些活动，但葡萄牙医学院校基于模拟的教学方法仍有很大的扩展潜力。医学课程录取学生数量的增加，以及医疗法律冲突的增多，导致需要在课程设置和教学方法上进行改进和调整。
