摘要：Ideally, simulation should be applied in all clinical settings for training professionals before proceeding on the patient, but its use is still limited because many available teaching tools need prior experience and sophisticated simulators. Thus, it is mandatory to simplify them, especially if we focus on novel instructors. We present a template that provides an integrative and simultaneous vision during the design phase of the key simulation design components. This allows the designer to revise them easily at a glance and consequently understand the relationship between these elements. In our practical experience, this template has improved the novel instructors’ understanding about the scenario design. Moreover, we believe it can be useful to get better clinical simulations since its structure allows detecting internal inconsistencies at an early stage, increases realism and improves the focus of the scenario towards the objectives of debriefing. It is exportable to all technological levels, since it does not require complex simulators. The template does not contain new concepts in simulation but offers a tool that facilitates a better understanding of the scenario design methodology since it integrates all the elements in a unique plane, especially for non-expert instructors.
