Objective: This study was proposed to identify the use of Information and Communication Technologies based tools as simulators, applications, or simulated environments in the teaching-learning processes in human and animal health sciences in different levels of academic studies. Materials and methods: In this research, a twelve questions survey was applied to staff of simulation laboratories/centers, and undergraduate and graduate academic programs in the field of human and animal health sciences in Colombia. The survey focused on identifying simulation spaces, hardware, and software tools available. The data analysis was performed, establishing a 95% confidence level and a minimum sample size of 15 from a population of 86 higher education institutions. Results and Discussion: A clear trend to use health-care simulation in Bachelor undergraduate programs was found, followed by graduate and finally by two- or three-years undergrad programs. Being the most used simulators, the task trainers and mannequins used to develop motor skills. Nevertheless, the number of available simulators remain insufficient, contrasting with increased demand for the rising number of students in the health area. Conclusions: Development of new tools is a high-priority need, particularly in areas like gynecology and obstetrics, surgery, and cardiology, which require specific skills and abilities.
