Background & Aim: Considering that the most important mission of medical schools is to train qualified and skilled physicians in the field of health services Whereas students with proper knowledge of the diagnosis of illness and its treatment, as well as the ability in the field of scientific and clinical skills, can properly conduct their studies after completing their education Therefore, the accurate and proper planning in the field of clinical education in creating the capability and acquiring the necessary skills in the students of this field includes an important part of medical education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulation software on the knowledge and practice of medical students during emergency medicine. Materials & Methods: The method of this study was applied and its method was pretest-posttest with control group. Sampling method was random. The statistical population of this study is all medical students of emergency medicine internship of Urmia University of Medical Sciences. In this study, the first two groups, the students were selected as interns in July and August 2016 as the control group or the control group, and the next two groups, ie internship students in Shahrivar and October 2016, were selected as the experimental group. In this research, two theoretical tests including: 36 questions of the four choices that assessed the knowledge and ability to diagnose the disease, the students were assessed and the practical test included: 10 questions related to the practical test, which was provided by the checklist and asked students who will do each item. Result: The findings of this study showed that the mean of functional learning score and diagnostic ability in the experimental group was more than control and the effect of software was confirmed (P=0.148). However, there was no significant difference between students' knowledge scores between the control and experimental groups (P = 0.001). Conclusion: Using the cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulator software can create an effective and effective learning environment by creating a safe and stressful environment as a complementary method to traditional education. Students can also simulate their ability to recognize and learn their practical skills by rehearsing and practicing emergency situations simulated by this method. But the use of simulations did not affect students' knowledge. But the use of simulations did not affect students' knowledge. Perhaps the reason for this was simply the practice of the software and the increase of knowledge in real and practical situations, with the explanations and tips of the professors.
