Communication and swallowing training of stroke-specialized health professionals using transdisciplinary knowledge in a patient-actor scenario: A case report.

What is already known on this subject Simulation in the training of health professionals is increasingly used as a good practice, allowing the recreation of scenarios identical to those in the context of professional practice. This strategy is used not only in initial training but also for the development of advanced skills. What this study adds to the existing knowledge This study reports the use of simulation using actor patients for the development of transdisciplinary skills in the topics of communication and swallowing in people with stroke What are the clinical and practical implications of this work? The study demonstrates that in a short period of training, the use of simulation with actor patients favours the development of transdisciplinary skills in the topics of communication and swallowing in people with stroke. At the same time, the skills developed are transferable to professional practice.
