  • Experienced Doctors just Graduated from The University? Possible, with Catholic University.

    Introduction of START Medical Simulation Center


     

    This place is full of medical equipment to save patients' lives. Suddenly, the sound of laughter of interns who want to become doctors is carried away from the ward filled with tension all day long. This is the 'START Medical Simulation Center' of Catholic Medical Center that materialized the same situation you would experience at the medical field in practice. Students who study medicine and nursing at Catholic University grow into medical professionals with hands-on experiences through simulations here. We knocked the door of the center to find out the secret of the Catholic Medical and Nursing College where other universities are curious about.

     


    The Center benchmarked for medical education

    Practical Training It's easier said than done. This is particular true, for the medical sector, where imaginable costs are required for a proper training.  Catholic University has the START Medical Simulation Center that provides the same environment as a real hospital. Students wearing white gowns can experience all kinds of situations they might encounter when they graduate and work at the clinic. The START Medical Simulation Center, located on the 8th floor of Sung-ii Hall, help improve students' performance through basic clinical skill training using skills models, simulation training using standardized patients, and simulation training for patients using simulators. Not only that, the center develops or attracts various simulation training courses for practitioners and nurses, being benchmarked by many medical educational institutes.


     

    Promote Professionalism through Various Programs

    The START Medical Simulation Center offers medical simulation training courses from the introductory course to the educator course. In the medical education field, evidence-based medicine is considered critical for clinical training and practice, and the safety of patient is a priority. This is why medical simulation training based on virtual scenarios is popular these says before students actually begin their career as doctors. In line with this trend, the Center has developed a simulation course for educator to nurture educators. The center is also designated as a Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS) and Professional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ACLS) training center certified by the American Heart Association and the Korean Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Association. When finish the course, listeners receive a certificate issued by the American Heart Association.


     

    Research and Academic Work at The Forefront of Medicine

    The START Medical Simulation Center conducts various studies on simulation training by actively exchanging news with other universities carrying out research and simulation training on clinical cases and educational evaluation tools. In addition to the opening symposium commemorating the opening of the center, the center holds symposiums on research and training programs for medical education using simulation trainings to promote a paradigm shift toward simulation training.
