Innovative Simulation-Based Medical Education

Housed in a beautifully renovated 19th-century building, the Medical Simulation Centre combines historical architecture with cutting-edge simulation technologies. Training rooms are equipped with high-fidelity manikins and digital systems that simulate real-life medical scenarios — from childbirth and heart attacks to general anesthesia

Hands-On, Safe, and Interdisciplinary Training

Students—including future doctors, nurses, midwives, and paramedics—gain practical, hands-on learning in high-fidelity environments that replicate operating theatres, ambulances, and delivery rooms. The Centre emphasizes teamwork across medical disciplines, allowing students to practice complex and high-stakes procedures safely, without risk to real patients

Bridging Theory and Practice

Our simulation labs are pivotal in preparing students to transition from theoretical knowledge to clinical application. Through immersive scenarios, learners build confidence, develop critical decision-making skills, and experience realistic patient interactions—benefits that enrich both their academic journey and future clinical practice.

Dynamic Events & Community Engagement

CSM hosts various events and educational initiatives designed to enhance learning and community involvement:

• Hands-on ultrasound workshops for students, residents, physicians, and paramedics
• University-wide open days offering guided tours of our facilities (e.g., Open Day 2024)
• Discussions on campus safety and simulation-based response training

The Medical Simulation Centre plays a key role in upholding the UMW values of Passion, Cooperation, Empathy, Courage, and Reliability. By providing advanced, safe, and realistic training environments, CSM enhances the quality of medical education, supports interdisciplinary collaboration, and nurtures confident, competent future healthcare professionals
