A state-of-the-art high-fidelity simulation training laboratory for emergency medicine doctors has been set up at Dow Hospital.
This is a new approach to reviewing learning outcomes with clearly defined learning outcomes.
High fidelity simulation training in medical school can be an effective tool to bridge some of the identified differences in the transition between undergraduate medical education and postgraduate practice.
Dr. Asim Hashmi, the program coordinator said the laboratory has been established to create ease for the doctors as it was difficult for all the students to do practicals on a single dead body, and similarly, causing a desecration of the body.
So, this high-fidelity simulation laboratory has been established for the medical students to practice all major diseases before treating patients in real.
Here we create a scenario where every medical student receives the patient and examines it with the help of machines attached to the body. This technology helps the students in gaining confidence and they feel positive when they treat the patient in real, Dr. Hashmi added.
He said the cameras also record all the training processes of the students and, after the process in the briefing room, the students are shown what they did wrong in their training and repeat the process without errors.
“Similarly, this helps to uplift the standard of quality medical studies.” He said Dow Hospital is the first public sector hospital that offers this high-fidelity simulation training.
