The construction of a modern Center for Medical Simulation (CSM) is one of the key investments of our University. CSM provides hands-on training in a setting that mirrors a hospital, outpatient clinic or ambulance. Students, trainees, and specialized medics - doctors, nurses, midwives, and paramedics - learn to perform basic and complex invasive procedures in a safe environment. The center is particularly useful in the first stages of medical training prior to activities with patients, and provides an opportunity to hone skills related to the treatment of less common conditions.
