Simulations will revolutionize the teaching of doctors and dentists at MUNI
In the autumn 2020, the new building of the MU Faculty of Medicine will welcome the first students to start studying general medicine or dentistry. The simulation center, which will also include the so-called training hospital, will change the teaching of medicine to an extent that is unique in Europe.
At the eastern end of the Bohunice campus, a new pavilion is growing rapidly. The five-storey building will bring a number of unique features to Masaryk University. "The building itself, with a usable area of almost eight thousand square meters intended exclusively for simulation teaching, will be one of the largest in Europe. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art trainers or patient mannequins. Together with the incorporation of computer algorithms, i.e. simulators with a low level of fidelity, referred to as virtual patients, it will be an exceptional workplace on a global scale, "said Petr Štourač, director of the Simulation Center of the MU Faculty of Medicine (SIMU).
