Abstract: Objectives: To describe our experience integrating simulation based training in an Interuniversitary Master´s degree in Pain Study and Management from the University Rey Juan Carlos of Madrid and University of Cantabria, Spain. Material and methods: After taking the online and on-site modules, students participated in 6 scenarios of simulated clinical immersion, in order to train patient management, clinical diagnosis, and patient safety competencies, in a realistic environment reproducing the actual clinical work. Results: Five physiotherapists, 1 psychologist, 10 medical doctors, and 9 nurses participated in the simulations during two consecutive editions of the Master. They found the scenarios very realistic and simulation a valuable teaching tool, reporting a global satisfaction of 4.5 over 5. It was also an opportunity to experiment adverse events of the analgesic that are uncommon to observe during clinical rotations. Conclusions: Participants were satisfied with the use of clinical simulation as part of the training program of an Interuniversitary Master in Pain Study and Management
