| Sumario: | Background: Outcomes-Based Education begins with the end in mind, it aims to achieve stated planned objectives and outcomes of an educational program before students/learners leave the educational institution (Spady, 1994). Objective: The study aims to assess the participants' overall experience of the OBE fair through prebriefing, simulation experience, debriefing, and program evaluation. Methodology: This study utilized a concurrent mixed-method approach of qualitative and quantitative methods in gathering data. This study took place during the 17th week of 1st Semester and 2nd Semester, Academic Year 2020-2021. The survey tool was an adapted and modified simulation evaluation tool modified (SET-M) from CAE healthcare. Data was gathered through an online data gathering tool during the OBE fair of the College. Findings: The result of the study suggests an improvement on all of the domains assessed, from 1st semester of OBE Fair implementation to the 2nd semester OBE Fair implementation. The qualitative data reveals three themes such as: looking at the critical conditions, embodying real-life situations, and connecting virtually; And one interlacing theme: Augmenting Clinical Competencies with Technology. Conclusions: Simulation is viewed as an effective way of providing relevant education, regardless of the participants' OBE grades, issues in their connectivity, and preparation during the two OBE fairs. The utilization of simulation during the Outcomes-Based Education Fair had been improved based on the gathered data. It is recommended to further investigate the effects of simulation activity and its effect on the learning outcomes, to help efficiently achieve the planned goal.
