United Center of Simulation-Based Training
United Center of Simulation-Based Training
BSMU United Center of Simulation-Based Training was established according to the government decree of the Russian Federation № 1069 from 21 December 2011 "On financial support for the foundation of training simulation centers in federal state budgetary institutions".
Under the direct supervision of Valentin N. Pavlov, the rector of the Bashkir State Medical University, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the building of BSMU Clinic former canteen (the total area is 375 m2) was reconstructed and repaired. Different teaching aids were purchased: computerized robotic mannequins of an adult, mothers, a newborn baby, a premature baby, phantoms for practicing different skills, and the expert class medical equipment for artificial lung ventilation. The Grand opening of the United Center of Simulation-Based Training took place on 23 November 2012 at the 80th anniversary of the Bashkir State Medical University.
The Center of Simulation-Based Training is a structural subdivision of the Bashkir State Medical University. The activity of the Center is targeted at organizing and conducting activities aimed at continuous improvement of practical training of students at the University, improving their professional competencies and developing simulation training at the University.
The Center of Simulation-Based Training structurally consists of the following units: the Obstetrics and Gynecology unit (Noel 3 and Noel 4 robot simulator of birth activity); the Anesthesiology and Resuscitation unit (tracheal intubation dummy, CPR dummy, SimMan and iStan critical state dummy robots); the Pediatrics and Neonatology unit (robot computer simulator of a year-old child Meti, robot computer simulator of a 5-year-old child Meti, artificial lung ventilation devices Savina 300, Sophie), which includes the room of general care pediatric manipulations, the room of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in children of different ages, and the room of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the birth hall (incubator transformable, premature baby simulator).
Later the Center of Simulation-Based Training was used as a separate structure for practical training and accreditation of BSMU students, residents, and students of the Additional Postgraduate Education Institute. There are new units for training in other specialties: the Neurology and Neurosurgery unit (virtual simulator NeuroTouch, phantoms for lumbar puncture); the Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery unit (robot simulator Chloe for laparoscopy, laparoscopic stand Gimmi, virtual laparoscopic simulator LapSim); the Ambulance unit with Reanimobile dummy; the Cardiology unit with the virtual surgical x-ray device (angiographic virtual simulator CatLabVR, critical conditions robot simulator iStan, simulator for examination of the cardiac patient Physico).
All units are equipped with audio and video surveillance that makes possible to conduct classes as the remote control over the actions of students. The Center of Simulation-Based Training has two debriefing rooms for 30 seats each one, equipped with a video monitoring system.
The teaching staff of BSMU Center of Simulation-Based Training consists of the leading professors and associate professors of the clinical departments. Head of the Center is assistant of the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care department, Rakhimova Rita Flyurovna.
