New pedagogical methodologies in the health sciences area could be necessary for trainees. Flipped Classroom or inverted classroom (FC) is a tool that offers greater autonomy for the student, as well as better knowledge assimilation. The main objective of this study was the achievement of basic skills for the application of knowledge, communication, and interpretation of relevant data to make judgments for health sciences students. The number of students participating in the study was 1103 (n=1103), all of them from different degrees such as dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing. Students were distributed in 2 study groups: Group A, application of masterclass methodologies (M), and Group B, Flipped Classroom (FC) or inverted classroom method. At the end of the practical sessions, a test was used to evaluate the students' knowledge acquisition and their degree of satisfaction with the teaching methodology. The obtained results showed a significant increase in the maximum number of correctly-answered questions and a greater degree of satisfaction from those students who attended the practical lessons taught using the FC method. As a conclusion, the application of the FC method in health sciences leads to better results in the acquisition of the course competencies than the masterclass methodologies.
