Resumen: Introducción: El paciente estandarizado (PE) o simulado es una herramienta globalmente aceptada dentro de la enseñanza médica. Se trata de un actor altamente entrenado que simula una o más enfermedades, desempeñándose como una herramienta integradora de conocimientos. Metodología: Se evaluó la percepción del estudiante de Medicina sobre el manejo integral de pacientes, utilizando PE como estrategia, a través de una encuesta de satisfacción. El análisis incluyó el uso de medidas de frecuencia como medias y proporciones para todas las preguntas del cuestionario. Resultados: La gran mayoría de los estudiantes de la carrera de Medicina (95,8%; 45 de 47) manifestaron estar de acuerdo en que la práctica con PE les permitió integrar conocimientos. El 95,8% (45 de 47) percibió esta estrategia como útil para el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación con pacientes. Conclusiones: Al utilizar la estrategia del PE en simulación clínica, las habilidades de comunicación fueron percibidas como las más desarrolladas dentro del aprendizaje del manejo integral clínico. Abstract: Introduction: The standardized patient (SP) or simulated patient is a globally accepted tool within the medical education. Usually, a highly-trained actor simulates one or more diseases performing as an integrative tool in the learning process. Methodology: We evaluated the perception of knowledge gaining after using the SP strategy in a group of medical students through a satisfaction survey. The analysis included the use of frequency measures as means and proportions for all questions in the questionnaire. Results: Most medical students (95.8%; 45 from 47) expressed agreement that the SP practice allowed them to integrate knowledge. Also, 95,8% (45 from 47) agreed that this strategy was useful for the development of communication skills with patients. Conclusions: When using the SP strategy in clinical simulation, communication skills were perceived as the most developed within the learning of clinical integral management.
