Vulvodynia is defined as vulvar discomfort, described as a burning pain with an average duration of 3 months and a prevalence of 16%. The methodology used consisted of a systematic review and analysis in electronic databases, through the use of keywords. The etiology remains unknown, despite the fact that various theories maintain that it has a multifactorial origin. The diagnosis of vulvodynia is made through a thorough evaluation of the history of pain, sexual history, clinical situation and physical examination. Non-medical treatment includes psychological interventions that aim to reduce pain and restore sexual function. Alternative therapies have not yet proven effective for the treatment of vulvodynia, while physical therapy, by helping to reduce tissue restrictions, helps restore the length of the muscles and tissues of the pelvis. Likewise, medical treatment includes local therap...

We welcome the readers of our magazine, we appreciate their preference, their important contributions and we ratify the commitment to continue working to share the research of the specialty, in the assurance that they will be useful in their medical practice. Currently in developed countries, research and innovation show a sustained growth, while in countries like ours, progress is insufficient. Some studies report that no Latin American university is among the 100 best universities in the world and that Latin America occupies the last places. In recent years, only five universities in the country stand out in the field of research, but in places that are not privileged; They are the National University of San Marcos, National University of Engineering, Agrarian University of La Molina, Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.

Education through the use of simulators has become a method for teaching and assessment that provides systematic training to participants with the aim of improving patient safety. Simulators were initially used for the training of aviation pilots. The first simulators portrayed some patients’ conditions, then they incorporated heart and respiratory sounds, and were used for training in certain emergencies. Currently, simulators contain various third and fourth generation computerized systems that include tactile, auditory and visual sensation, and are used in initial tests and in formative evaluation processes. Their main feature is the development of competencies through an increase in difficulty and subsequent feedback to identify the impact of the experience and improve performance. Simulation can be incorporated in the development of a course or within a curriculum and its inclusio...
