Lokman Hekim University VITAL Simulation Center offers comprehensive simulation training to students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, aiming to equip them with critical skills in patient care. Students in fields such as nursing, physical therapy, nutrition and dietetics, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy gain experience in realistic clinical settings by working one-on-one with simulated patients. These training programs contribute to the development of fundamental competencies such as patient assessment, treatment planning, communication, and multidisciplinary teamwork.
The simulation center provides a well-equipped environment where students can receive practical training in areas such as emergency interventions, trauma management, rehabilitation, clinical nutrition, and communication skills. The simulators and advanced technologies at the center help students combine theory with practice by recreating different patient scenarios. In addition, patient safety, ethical decision-making, and a holistic approach to patient care are key focal points of simulation training.
This training ensures that students are better prepared for their professional lives after graduation. Simulations reinforce clinical skills as well as empathy with patients, effective communication, and ethical responsibility. Students develop the ability to achieve successful outcomes in patient care by collaborating effectively with healthcare teams.
