From September 29 to October 4, 2024, the clinical faculty at Phan Chau Trinh University (PCTU) participated in an advanced training program focused on clinical teaching methods using simulation-based learning. The program was conducted under the guidance of renowned experts from the Alberta Children's Hospital, Canada.
The experts delivered engaging lectures, skillfully blending theoretical knowledge, teamwork exercises, and hands-on simulation practice at PCTU’s state-of-the-art simulation hospital. Through this training, PCTU physicians and lecturers not only acquired updated teaching techniques but also learned how to effectively implement active teaching strategies using simulation. This approach enhances their instructional capabilities, allowing students to develop a more comprehensive and practical skill set for clinical scenarios.
Simulation-based teaching is an innovative educational method in the medical field. PCTU has made substantial investments in this area, establishing a five-story simulation hospital with over 50 practice rooms, at a total investment exceeding 5 million USD. These practice rooms are equipped to replicate the functional units of real hospitals, complete with fully operational medical equipment. The simulated patients in these facilities can authentically mimic clinical conditions, enabling students to practice and refine their skills in a realistic, risk-free environment.
Alberta Children's Hospital is recognized as a leading provider of comprehensive pediatric healthcare in Canada. Its team of specialists is not only highly experienced but also at the forefront of applying cutting-edge treatment methods and medical technologies. The hospital places a strong emphasis on the use of simulation in the training and education of healthcare professionals. This approach not only enhances the clinical skills of medical staff but also reduces medical errors, fosters better teamwork, and ultimately improves the quality of patient care.
The collaboration between PCTU and Alberta Children's Hospital brings advanced clinical knowledge and teaching methodologies to both faculty and students, reflecting PCTU's ongoing commitment to enhancing the quality of its medical education. This partnership also underscores PCTU's dedication to driving comprehensive development within the healthcare sector.
