7. Medical Simulation Center of Collegium Medicum UJK
The Medical Simulation Center (MSC) operates as an interdisciplinary educational and research unit aimed at enhancing the clinical competencies of students in medical fields and conducting research in simulation-based education. The center facilitates learning through clinical scenarios and a standardized environment replicating hospital and outpatient conditions.
Facilities and capabilities include:
- Fully equipped high-fidelity simulation (HFS) rooms with adult, neonatal, pediatric, and obstetric patient simulators (e.g., Gaumard, Laerdal, CAE)
- Simulation rooms for nursing, midwifery, and emergency medical skills
- Workstations for technical procedures: venipuncture, intubation, CPR, perioperative care
- AV recording and transmission systems (Debriefing Room) for full-feedback teaching sessions
- Partial-task trainers and simulators: surgical suturing, per vaginam/per rectum exams, catheterization, ECG, injections
- Low- and medium-fidelity mannequins for basic procedure training
- Mobile OSCE stations with clinical competence assessment and recording systems
Research applications include:
- Evaluation of teaching methods based on OSCE, mini-CEX, checklists, and skills scaling
- Studies on the effectiveness of medical simulation in developing clinical, communication, and teamwork skills
- Collaboration with nursing and midwifery communities to implement educational innovations
- Design and testing of simulation scenarios for diverse populations (children, older adults, emergency patients, laboring women)
