Pioneered the use of simulation technologies in Health Sciences

UCAM is pioneering new technologies including simulation training processes.

For this offers students the most advanced equipment, such as own simulation rooms, table of clinical reasoning 'Body interact' simulator delivery or digital anatomical chart, among others, allowing you to approach reality during their university education.

Clinical simulation is a learning tool that aims to train in an environment as close as possible to the real context.

"From the first moment when the UCAM began teaching degrees in Nursing or Medicine opted for new technologies to support teaching," said Parraga, for whom the simulation in training of students is paramount, "although the practice clinic has its value, there are pathologies that can not see every day, and the student can learn these applications with anyone, including rare and severe ".
