Lokman Hekim University VITAL Simulation Center, opened in 2024, is a modern education center offering advanced training and practical skill development opportunities in the field of health. Our center is designed to enhance the clinical experience of students and healthcare professionals, strengthen critical decision-making processes, and develop skill sets. We serve students in health sciences, medical school, pharmacy school, and health vocational school. We also support the professional development of academics and healthcare professionals by offering simulation-based training. Our center’s well-equipped facilities, including 3 outpatient clinics, patient rooms, a 10-bed ward, emergency room, operating room, pediatric intensive care unit, and general intensive care unit, enable the simulation of real-life scenarios. Furthermore, two debriefing rooms and two skills laboratories reinforce participants’ learning processes.
The simulators at the center realistically model different health conditions and offer participants the opportunity to develop their intervention skills. Students and healthcare professionals develop their basic skills using mannequins and gain experience in various clinical scenarios using high-tech simulators. Furthermore, through outpatient consultations with simulated patients at our center, participants can also improve patient-specialist communication and diagnosis processes. All this equipment brings interactive and practical learning processes to the forefront in healthcare education.
The VITAL Simulation Center contributes to preparing students for their professional lives by offering innovative solutions in healthcare education, while also supporting healthcare professionals in updating their knowledge and skills through continuing education programs. Every training program conducted at our center is organized in accordance with the learning objectives of the participants and is practical and feedback-oriented.
