The COVID-19 pandemic put the normal and
daily operation of the simulation centers on hold, thus
reinventing the ways to ensure academic continuity. The
telesimulation technique promotes the development of
cognitive, kinesthetic and psychomotor skills allowing
training and feedback. The instrument "Self-diagnosis on
telesimulation in the teaching of health sciences" was
designed and applied to 100 teachers from various Latin
American countries. The dimensions of Active Learning,
Interaction and communication, Multimedia and
Telesimulation were evaluated. The dimension with the
highest average was Multimedia and the one with the lowest
average was Telesimulation. Faculty had to migrate to the
digital system, as part of an emergency health situation,
rather than innovation. There are gaps that impact
professors in their use of telesimulation as a pedagogical
strategy.
