Simulation Centre
Experience-based learning
Today, with the help of development technology, real-life situations can be recreated in virtually all areas of healthcare with the goal to learn and continue to acquire skills without putting the patient at risk, with the fundamental addition of incorporating error as part of the self-directed learning.
In addition, at the #MedUNAV Simulation Center we work for students to acquire other professional competencies such as communication skills, teamwork work , analysis and decision making, leadership skills, conflict resolution or stress management. All this, without forgetting the physician's raison d'être.
MISSION
It seeks to provide Degree and postgraduate program students with a state-of-the-art standardized training internship in a controlled and safe environment and to enhance medical skills.
VISION
We aim to achieve a campus with an educational model based on teaching and research, in which innovative solutions to today's problems and challenges are promoted.
VALUES
Our activities aspire to make present values that guide and characterise the daily work of those who form the University and configure its environment and its culture: the excellent work , freedom, respect, multidisciplinarity, responsibility, service, international outreach...
SIMULATORS
Vimedix
Ultrasound simulator that performs TTE, TEE (transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography), and abdominopelvic scans in a single platform.
Harvey
Cardiology patient simulator. Includes 30 different pathologies such as valvulopathies, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart diseases, etc.
SimMom
SimMom is an advanced birthing simulator that offers manual and automatic deliveries for better obstetric knowledge teaching .
SimBaby
Highly advanced and portable universal infant patient simulator, for training on internship clinical cases through team-based work and learning how to manage resources and people in crisis situations.
SimMan 3G
SimMan 3G can simulate a critically ill patient's responses to different severity conditions, combining physiological models, drug responses and the ability to show different clinical reactions.
MAIN FACILITIES
Intended for clinical skills workshops and debriefing sessions (viewing recorded scenarios and analysing performances with the trainer). They have capacity for 25 people and are equipped with a recording camera and two screens. These rooms can be joined together, doubling their capacity.
With a capacity for ten students, this is where the Harvey cardiac patient simulator is located, model , a life-size simulator that reproduces different cardiac pathologies.
We perform clinical scenarios with standardised patients as a learning method. They offer the student the possibility to learn communication skills, take a medical history or perform a physical examination.
Convertible into emergency rooms. They are equipped with an audiovisual recording system interconnected with the rest of the multi-purpose rooms. Each operating room has simulators (SimMan 3G, SimMOM, SimBABY, ALS Simulator) and advanced life support equipment for the recreation of clinical scenarios. They also have the Resusci Anne Skills Station simulator, designed for basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation, connected to a computer programme that corrects the practices of student in emergency rooms. All are equipped with equipment and instrumentation to simulate different clinical scenarios.
Each operating room has a Control conference room , from where the staff of the C.S. monitors the simulations and manages the computer and robotic resources.
The Centre has all the necessary material for recording the simulated clinical scenarios, including an audiovisual integration system, loudspeakers, microphones, video cameras and monitors, which enable fully participatory workshops that provide genuine feedback between teacher and students, or between the students themselves. In addition, a variety of material is available for the workshops and clinical scenarios at internship . Specifically, several human simulators, clinical simulation software and more specific skills simulators.
conference room equipped with audiovisual media for the post-scenario meeting . It analyses whether or not the objectives of the scenario have been met and conclusions are drawn.
The student has different simulators with the necessary means to acquire the required knowledge without the need of a teacher.
STAFF
Who we are
Iker Marquez
Simulation Technician
Undergraduate degree program
The School of Medicine is committed to teaching students the acquisition of professional skills that will make them better doctors. Communication skills, work teamwork, analysis and decision making and the application of theoretical knowledge in critical or common situations of the internship care, are some of the skills that we teach here.
postgraduate program
The School makes available the facilities of the Simulation Center for various courses of update aimed at residents and specialists. Advanced life support, emergency situations through clinical scenarios and other specific courses that they themselves request.
INTENDED FOR SPECIALISTS
The Simulation Center works in partnership with the commission of training and Human Resources are in charge of proposing training activities. If you are a specialist in CUN and you want to propose an activity, please go to form.
FOR RESIDENTS
The Simulation Center works in partnership with the commission of teaching that is in charge of proposing activities that they consider essential for them. If you are a resident and want to train in simulation, please contact us at contact (csm@unav.es).
Teaching tools
Competency Examination goal and Structured (ECOE)
The ECOE is an objective and structured competency test . It consists of a pathway for different positions where the student has to face different clinical situations common in the daily work of the physician.
They will have to demonstrate their ability to take patient history and explore patients, assess laboratory and complementary examinations, make diagnostic judgements, access medical information, demonstrate skills in practical procedures and their ability to deal with life-threatening patient situations.

Standardised Patient Programme
The Standardized Patient Program offers students the opportunity to train clinical, communication and work team competencies with people trained to play the role of patient, family member or companion.
Each year, more than 70 people between the ages of 18 and 76 participate in our program. University employees and students from different departments have collaborated in the program: Degrees, with the exception of Medicine, and Master's Degree, as well as students from the Senior Program.
