Abstract
Objective to analyze the “telesimulation” concept and its applicability in the context of health education.
Method this is a conceptual analysis performed through a scoping review carried out in May 2021 in the following databases: PubMed, PMC, Educational Resources Information Center, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, LILACS, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google Scholar, through the use of the descriptor “telesimulação” and its respective translations into English and Spanish. To analyze the studies, the concept’s attributes, antecedents, and consequences were assessed.
Results telesimulation is defined as a branch of clinical simulation that is characterized by the promotion/enabling of educational practices in health education, performed remotely, synchronously, through video call. It aims to facilitate contact between instructors and participants in situations of need for social distance, access made difficult for economic reasons, such as the scarcity of human and material resources, and/or geographically distant, aiming at developing and improving relevant skills and abilities for health professions.
Conclusion and implications for practice telesimulation represents a new opportunity in health education as it expands teaching possibilities and breaks down barriers ranging from geographic to economic.

Resumo
Objetivo: analisar o conceito de telessimulação e sua aplicabilidade no contexto do ensino em saúde.
Método: trata-se de uma análise conceitual, realizada através de uma scoping review realizada em maio de 2021, nas seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, PMC, Educational Resources Information Center, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, LILACS, Scientific Electronic Library Online e Google Scholar, mediante o uso do descritor “telessimulação” e suas respectivas traduções para inglês e espanhol. Para análise dos estudos, avaliaram-se os atributos, antecedentes e consequentes do conceito.
Resultados: a telessimulação é definida como uma ramificação da simulação clínica que se caracteriza pela promoção/viabilização de práticas educativas no ensino em saúde, realizadas remotamente, síncrona, através de videochamada. Tem como objetivo facilitar o contato entre instrutores e participantes em situações de necessidade de distanciamento social, acesso dificultado por razões econômicas, como a escassez de recursos humanos e materiais, e/ou geograficamente distantes, com a intenção de desenvolver e aperfeiçoar competências e habilidades pertinentes as profissões da saúde.
Conclusão e implicações para a prática: a telessimulação representa uma nova oportunidade na formação em saúde, ao ampliar as possibilidades de ensino e romper barreiras que vão desde as geográficas até as econômicas.
