Enhancing Cardiorespiratory Clinical Skills in Chile
For the Universidad Autónoma de Chile, the purchase of their new CaRE trainer marks the first introduction of the model in Chile, representing a major milestone in the Latin American region.
Did you know? At the end of 2025, our newly launched Cardiovascular and Respiratory Examination (CaRE) Trainer had been sold into 37 countries worldwide.
Providing all-in-one cardiorespiratory training, CaRE is designed to support students at every stage of learning: from mastering individual skills to identifying and diagnosing clinical cases.
For the Universidad Autónoma de Chile, the purchase of their new CaRE trainer marks the first introduction of the model in Chile, representing a major milestone in the Latin American region.
We spoke to the core faculty team about what led them to introduce CaRE into their simulation offering and how they’ve been utilising the trainer so far:
“CaRE offers our students an unprecedented learning experience, setting the Universidad Autónoma de Chile as a benchmark for simulation-based medical education in Chile.
Our strategic vision positions clinical simulation as a fundamental training pillar to ensure progressive and safe development of key clinical skills. CaRE provides the essential bridge between theoretical knowledge and real-world clinical practice for our students to develop confidence and technical competence before getting in front of real patients.
We see strong potential for CaRE as a multidisciplinary learning tool, using it across 2nd-5th year medical students at Talca campus.”
Mr. Luis Castillo, Dean of Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Autonoma de Chile 
“The implementation of CaRE will transform how we teach and assess fundamental skills. Its technical accuracy in clinical findings is truly remarkable, and the direct benefits for our students are numerous and significant. Students have access to the same clinical pathological findings, regardless of the availability of real cases, guaranteeing equity in learning opportunities.
CaRE also enhances realistic preparation for OSCE assessments, as the simulator's fidelity allows for the exact replication of the assessment conditions they will face, reducing anxiety and improving performance.”
Ms. Ximena Aceituno, Clinical Simulation Operations Coordinator, Universidad Autonoma de Chile
“CaRE is a high-technology simulator that enables the development of auscultation training with a wide range of heart and lung sounds, supporting the recognition of clinical findings and the identification of associated pathologies in a safe and controlled environment.
Its incorporation enhances quality of training by promoting diagnostic reasoning, clinical decision-making, and patient safety.”
Ms. Lissete Mendoza Vivallo, Coordinator of Clinical Simulation Center, Universidad Autonoma de Chile, Temuco.
